i have windows xp home with sp2, my computer is a Dell 5000 with pentium 4. i
have 3 administrator accounts. my problem is logging off. i cannot log off
from any of the accounts, i can switch off or switch user but not log off. if
i try to log off it goes as far as a black screen and then nothing, i can't
use the task manager. the only way i can then do anything is to unplug the pc
from the mains and start again. any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,

Can't use task manager? What happens when you try to?

if you have zone alarm, there have been reports of this problem and the gist
of it is, 'They are working on it'.
or you can try this,
