shutdown program

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    int actionType;
    int seconds;
    cout << "What would you like to do?" << endl;
    cout << "1 = shutdown; 2 = hibernate" << endl;
    cin >> actionType;
    if (actionType != 1 || actionType != 2)
    {
        cout << "Invalid action ID" << endl;
        cout << "Please retype action ID" << endl;
        cin >> actionType;
    }
    cout << "Seconds until action: ";
    cin >> seconds;
    if ((MessageBox(NULL, "Are you sure?", "Confirm", MB_OKCANCEL)) == MB_OK)
    {
        HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
        ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_HIDE);
        Sleep(seconds * 1000);
        if (actionType == 1)
        {
            system("shutdown -s -f -t 10");
        }
        else if (actionType == 2)
        {
            system("rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0");
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

When I compile it it doesn't shout at me but when I run it it always displays the "Invalid action ID" the first time I enter either 1 or 2 and then works up until the

if (actionType == 1)
        {
            system("shutdown -s -f -t 10");
        }
        else if (actionType == 2)
        {
            system("rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0");
        }

meaning that it doesn't do anything. It will just sit there and look defiantly at me.

The first problem is you need to change
if (actionType != 1 || actionType != 2)
to
if (actionType != 1 && actionType != 2)

Alrighty, that solved the first problem, thanks for the info, also replaced the if with while but still... why doesn't it shut down the PC?
