Help, I can't shut down my Laptop

I was trying to down load Ebay's Turbolister, but the programme crashed whilst listing, so I have the Turbo Lister Install wizard, which won't cancel or go away and I can't shut my laptop down, because it's there, although I've tried Ctrl ALT Del and it's not recognising it, does anyone know how I can shut it down?

I forgot to say, I have a Dell Laptop and windows xp.

Many thanks in advance

Hold the power button down for as long as 30 seconds. If this does not solve your problem, pull the battery and power cord, this will shut it down!

How much RAM you got in the machine?? This may be part of the problem?

Not sure how to check, click the following link and Check My Computer:
