Problem with shutting down XP Home

[Millybags]

Hi,
My XPHome SP2 computer refuses to properly shut down. It hangs with the
mouse pointer freezing on the Shutting Down message. I've looked in the MS
KB and tried a few things, but none works.

Any ideas welcome.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve

Have you tried the following link to Jim Eshelman's web site:

Thanks for the link.
By a process of elimination, I've discovered the culprit is a Belkin USB2 4
port hub. The computer shuts down perfectly when I took it out the system.
I did notice that when the hub was installing, Windows gave it a
non-certified driver. No Belkin driver was supplied - I think they all are
described as Plug and Play devices.

Anybody want a hub? As new condition, with power supply? LOL!!

Strangely, I've another Belkin hub on my other machine and it's no problem!

Regards,
Steve
