>>>It worked on the machine I tested at home; try using 6 (drop the ForceIfHung flag, 0x10, from the flag mix) rather than 22, since that might not be in whatever version of the API you're using. It's a relatively late addition to the API.

>If this is NT, you may need to be running with a different set of permissions in order to get the API call to work - not all users and applications have the necessary permissions to force a reboot. You might want to check the return code from ExitWindowsEx (it will return a numeric value) and see what that value is.

Yep, it's NT... I thought that if I could do a *physical* reboot with ctl+alt+del, then I could do a programmatic reboot... not that simple, I guess. Thanks for your help, I will check out the documentation.
