VERY, very slow shutdown
I have gotten a new 4400+ HP computer, dual core, with WindowsXP. SP#2
It takes sometimes forever (last night I went to bed and in the morning it still had not shut down) I have run 3 different programs (Ad-aware, Spybot search and destroy and Adware away) plus an AV program NOD32. None find a problem. I have also run a defrag with Diskkeeper 10 two days ago, ( it is also set to defrag in the background) but it still has this big problem with shutdown. My 2.8Ghz computer shuts down almost immediately by comparison, running the same Windows XP, SP #2 and many more programs. What are your ideas here ? |

VERY, very slow shutdown
basically, it didn't take forever to shutdown. simply putting it, the system didn't shutdown. likely an issue with hardware.... try testing the theory via safemode..

Look in the Event Viewer Log for possible errors and clues.

VERY, very slow shutdown
Unless you have some ideas to start your research, you're going to have
to do a tedious process of elimination. Basically, you start with nothing running at startup and then add one program at a time until you find the culprit. Did I mention it was tedious? However, it works.

In Safe mode it shuts down very quickly.
Should I try uninstalling 1 application after another and see each time whether that makes the shutdown quick?

ok,
in safe mode only first party drivers are loaded while in normal mode first, second and third party drivers are all loaded. try going to sysinternals.com and download autoruns this will reveal all the drivers loaded and give you the opportunity to remove them. it will divide the processes into tabs. then review each line item and uncheck the ones that is not needed or shouldn't be required by your system. then double click the filename and the registry will open and show you the modifications. If you change your mind later you can recheck the disabled item. But it would be my guess that any process that interferes with your system, shouldn't be required to automaticatlly run without your help or knowledge.
