Computer, and then click Turn Off. (Windows® 2000) Click Start on the

❑ If your computer does not turn off, press the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys
simultaneously. (Windows® XP) When the Windows Task Manager dialog
box appears, click Turn Off from the Shut Down menu. (Windows® 2000)
When the Windows Security dialog box appears, click Shut Down, and
select Shut Down again from the Shut Down Windows window.
❑ If your computer still does not turn off, press and hold the power button or
slide and hold the power switch until the computer turns off.
❑ If your computer stops responding while playing a CD or DVD, press the
Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys simultaneously. (Windows® XP) You can turn off the
