HELP cant shut down pc... "archive damaged"...

"archive damaged" is it ok to delete?

i have a "small" problem in turning off the computer...
i cant turn it off using the 'Turn off' buttons on the Start MEnu!

when i scanned my system with nod , i expected a lot of files locked,
but i saw 2 archives damaged.

C:\Program Files\Openoffice.org 2.0\program\python-core-2.3.4\lib\test\testtar.tar

C:\Documents and Settings\pc\Local Settings\Temp\yms50.tmp >>CAB>>\sunkist.bmp

what do they mean? what kinds of files are they? can i delete them? please help, else i need to pull my plug every time.

 

Hi figsch, welcome to Wilders.

Neither file has anything whatsoever to do with your shutdown issue. The 1st file is to do with Open Office 2.0 The 2nd file is a picture - Bitmap

You can try the following to check for missing or damaged Windows files:

* From the Start menu, select Run.
* In the Open field, type sfc /scannow (Note: There is a space between sfc and /scannow)
* Select the OK button.
* Follow the prompts throughout the System File Checker process.
* Reboot the computer when System File Checker completes.

Failing the above I would suggest repairing Windows as described in the following link: http://www.informationweek.com/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=189400897
