Just installed 10.04 - struggled a bit but managed it. Much better internet connection. Only trouble is I cannot close down - need to crash the machine. When I re-start I have to through a load of corrections.
Anyone else have this problem?

If you mean that nothing happens when you click on the shutdown or restart button, then yes it happens to me and others occasionally, though I've not been able to find any pattern to it.

There's no need to crash the system! Just open a terminal or go to the cli with Alt+Ctrl+F1 and use the command
sudo poweroff or
sudo reboot or make a launcher to run one or both of those commands in terminal, on your desktop for those occasions.
