When I hit START, TURN OFF COMPUTER & RESTART, my Win Xp
Professional seems to hang for about 5 min before it
finally resets. During this time there is no drive
activity and absolutely nothing is happening. As stated,
after about 5 min or more, the computer then reboots as
usual. I have hit the reset button after the drive
activity stops and XP comes back up without a problem but
I am worried there may be something seriously wrong. It
is a fresh reinstall after a total FDisk of the hard
drive. I am running Zone Alarm also - but even when ZA is
disabled, WinXP Professional still hangs for about 5 min
at the "Windows is shutting down" screen... Leading me to
believe it is something else. Possibly a Trojan or
worse... Could someone please give me some options to
try? Suggestions that are somewhat safe before I try to
reinstall the XP op again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
