How old is the PC you are using?, check if you have ACPI enabled in your BIOS.

If it's Windows 2000, go in to Power Options in the Control Panel. Click the APM tab and then enable Advanced Power Management support.

This sorted out my shutting down woes.

Delete would probably be the BIOS key, or Insert.
