have a look here boss

if you have a nVidia card, go into msconfig and disable NVsvc from startup, see if that will help

[ultimatejester]

it cud also take ages if u have a lot of programs in system tray

Do you have NOD32 antivirus?That gives me problems to shutdown,even is the best av program ever .

[Mavol]

No i have a ati 9200,
i dont have NOD32 antivirus,
it also takes ages if i first close all the prog in the system tray.

There were some programs installed on the computer when i got it, know anything else which could make my shutdown so slow?

What pc do you have?You have Norton installed?

you'll get some good suggestions here
experts exhange.

here's a tip, i googled "xp slow shutdown" and it was the first result.

no i dont have norton anymore, i thought it might be norton that slowed me down but it wasnt norton. I've installed norman instead, my overall pc performance has increased with norton gone but shutdown hasnt improved a lot, still takes ages.

not really the same prob but ill see if i can find anything on experts exchange.

didnt find anything on experts exchange that worked :'( , gonna do a google search myself. why didnt i think of that.
