XP won't do a restart

General Topics

I am running XP on an old laptop.
I have been trying out several linux distros from their live CDs.
Since doing this, the laptop will no longer do a restart when I log out of XP.

I would like to regain the restart function with the laptop using XP.

Does anyone have any idea how I could correct this problem?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the information.

I figured out the problem. I started using a new program called Dsynchronize. If it is running at the time of log off, the the laptop does not do a restart as requested, but rather just shuts down. I have emailed the developer about the problem.
