Problem in shutting down

[Darshil]

Hi,

I have XP professional with SP 2. It takes 15-20 to shutdown the machine. I
don't have any extra softwares on my machine. It was working fine till last
weekend. But for last few days this problem is coming.

What could be the reason? Please help.

Thanks a lot...
Darshil

Since it worked ok before try a system restore to before the problem
occurred. If that doesn't fix it you can undo the restore.
