“With its rock-solid foundation and ground-breaking new features, Windows XP Professional won’t quit working, even when your workday is done.” — Microsoft

I wonder if they actually know what they were saying? See the bold part above. That simply describe the irritating problem I am having with my PC now - it takes so blardy S-L-O-W to shutdown, as if it actually refuses to Shutdown. I mean, come on, I do NOT want to use you anymore, just shut the F down!

Ok, sorry folks. Just need to let that out.

Anyone with any other tits...ummm..tips on how to correct this Shutdown problem please drop me a tinker.

I need to Shut Down now else I'll be home next week (waiting for it to ShutDown)
