[G4] Help, Computer won't shut down

[Hector I. Macedo]

Harry, I checked the activity monitor and this is what it shows:

233   mdimports				2.28 MB
230   Activity monitor			18.30 MB
204	  microsoftK... 			 6.24 MB
193  finder				        27.49 MB
192   systemUISe                         1.72 MB	
191   dock					 8.56MB
186  pbs						 5.25 MB
177   loginwindow			11.70- MB
171   ATS server				 4.09

What does that mean and what do I need to do?

Thanks
