When I try to shut down the computer I get a window in the top left of the screen that says "DDE SERVER This item is still busy then it gives me the options of waiting to see if it shuts down itself or END TASK or cancel. What is the matter with this and what is a DDE server? How can I remedy this. Thanks

Welcome to CTH
DDE (dynamic data exchange) Server error is often due to a faulty or corrupted file association.
This could possible be related to your other problem. The first thing to eliminate is some spyware. Go HERE (http://www.cybertechhelp.com/html/downloads/download.php/id/36) and download SpyBot
Here (http://spybot.safer-networking.de/index.php?page=tutorial) is a good tutorial to use the program. After you run this program, come back and let use know if it helped.
