XP stalls when shutting down after installing SP2

[rdb]

After installing SP2, XP stalls when shutting down on 2
of the 3 computers I've installed it on. The third was a
clean install and seems to work fine. Anyone have any
ideas on how to fix this problem?

What do you mean stalls -- slow to shutdown, won't shutdown, etc?

Do you have your pagefile spread out over two drives? I had trouble shutting
down XP until I put pagefile on one drive only.
