I am using Windows 7 and XP. I want to run a script to run this command:
shutdown /p /f /t 120
On Windows 7, it shows that an error occurred, but I think I am using it correctly.
software is fun

You are using conflicting switches.
/p – Turn off the local computer with no time-out or warning. Can be used with the /f option.
/t – Set the time-out period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
You are telling it to shutdown now with /p and shutdown in 120 seconds with /t.

11Learn something new... I always do /s /f /t 0... glad to know I can be lazy and just do /p /f now. That's five key strokes I'll save! – WernerCD – 2014-03-11T18:27:56.313

You should use
shutdown /f /t 120
Parameters /p and /t are incompatible.
Check Windows 7 shutdown command syntax for other parameters and more info.

1you need a toggle for shutdown: R for restart, S for shutdown, H for hibernate, P for shutdown now (can't use T), etc. /f /t 120, etc – WernerCD – 2014-03-11T20:45:54.290

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you might want to try
shutdown -s -f -t 120
This will force close all running programs and shut your computer down after 120 seconds.
