I have a Dell P4 @ 1.8 gHz with 512 Meg RD ram , and a 40 gig HD. It has
always worked perfect , and I always download the latest
windows updates. I also run bootvis regularly , ( the old version, as I
haven't tried the new version yet ). My PC will usually boot up in less than
30 seconds, and will shut off in about 5 seconds when I press the off
button. Lately , I notice that it takes about 35 seconds to turn off, and I
have not done anything different to the PC. I am also running Norton
Antivirus and it is scanned regularly, and I use ad-aware version 6 to look
for spyware.
Is there anything that windows update could have done to cause this slow
down? Or do you have any other advice.
Thank you very much.
