XP SP2 - Won't shut down

[Angie]

I installed XP SP2 and everything seems to be working
fine. EXCEPT when I go to shut down. Windows hangs on
the "shutting down the computer" screen and locks up
there. It doesn't shut down. I've searched for answers
all over Microsoft and can't find anything. Any ideas?

Any other suggestions? None of those suggestions solved
the problem (except uninstalling SP2). I don't want to
go that far yet until I've exhausted all avenues.
