Hello Folks,
I am wondering if there are any particular things I should look for in
trying to diagnose a long (about a minute) shutdown time. The delay appears
to be in the "Saving your settings" phase.
I created a new account, and it shuts down after just a second or two, so it
would not seem to be a hardware glitch.
Any ideas?
(running Windows 2000, SP4, all updates)
Thanks in advance,
- Steve |

A win200 with all updates and a one minute shut down is normal for me. |
But then, my computer is somewhat older and slower(260MB RAM, 600mhz
processor).

I had this problem as well.
Try this:
Open a command prompt window.
Type the following and hit RETURN:
NET STOP SPOOLER
Close the window.
Try shutting down and see if it goes faster.
Let us know what happens. |
