    Can you elaborate further? What happens after you click shutdown in Windows?

    Have you tried, reformatting and reinstalling windows because i bet you
    are missing key registry components to shutting down and logging off

    But for now to prevent any further data loss when you want to shut down go to run and type cmd -> shutdown -r ( to abort) type shut down -a hope this helps for the time being if this computer does not have a windos CD until you get one....
