Laptop wont shut down properly

Options
More often than not, when I go to shut down my laptop it doesn't shut down but in fact when I think it's done, it restarts. What is going on? What can I do? I'm having to force it to shut down manually which probably isn't very good for the laptop!

    Have a look at control panel>power options>advantage and have a look where its says "when i press the power button on my computer". Also have a read here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/win_xp_restart.htm .have you installed or uninstalled anything recently?

    Tey the power settings if not do a virus scan make sure there no virus and if all else fails you can try a system restore back to a point where it was working correct.
