Cable Forum - View Single Post - Exceedingly slow shutdown! Advice welcomed.

Angua · 11-07-2005, 10:36

I am having problems shutting down the computer. We run Windoze XP Home. I did have a problem with Icon Packager but removing the program solved the problem (or seems to have).
Everything loads up ok but when it comes to shutting down it is taking ages (20minutes or more). What I am having to do is re-set then turn off from the log in screen, even this is slow!

Everything else seems to be working properly. I do run startup monitor to ensure not too much is running in the background and neither of us tend to have multiple applications running at any time. Any help is most appreciated!

TIA

PS did try a search to see of this had been dealt wioth before but nothing specific to this problem showed up.
