Help!!!! [View all]

The elections are Tuesday and I can’t log into the Internet. Logged on to my computer this afternoon and hit the icon to bring up the menu and the icon disappeared. Hit a couple times, now the little blue circle just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning this been going on for two hours now. Since the menu was not available I can’t log off or reboot.

I have a notebook HP. Any suggestions? I did try pulling the battery and shutting off the computer it allows me to log back in but when I get to the screen the blue thing just keeps spinning.

TIA
