Start menu frozen, can't log off and headphones aren't detected

[PlzCanIHazHelpz]

My start menu doesn't work so I can't use restart, shutdown, log off, lock, sleep or hibernate, neither can I use anything else on the start menu- for some reason my computer also doesn't pick up my headphones and continues to play sound through speakers- I think I left my computer in sleep mode for about four days with the headphones plugged in. Is there any way to fix this problem. (bearing in mind I can only shut down using the power off button on the keyboard and I can't use the restart function or Ctrl Alt Del).

Hi, is this one of the smaller tablet type PC's? I am guessing it is as you state Windows 7 starter. Have you tried a total shut down, and then remove all power, the battery as well and leave it for say ten minutes. Press the start button which should drain any remaining flea power, then replace the battery and any other power connections, see if that helps first.
