Problem in Shutdown

[Wil]

During the shutdown (WinXP Pro), a small window pops up,
the message says "Closing: EXPLORER.EXE". After a while,
it says "This program is not responding". After I
choose "END", another message says "Closing: Connections
Tray", then "This program is not responding". I have to
manually choose to end.

This problem started a month ago. Since then, it happens
every time during the shutdown.

Hi,

So what did you install/update/upgrade about a month ago?

See if the troubleshooters from MVP Jim Eshelman help:
