'Saving your Settings' missing

[Lesley]

XP Home+SP2 - IE7


I am gaving a ShutDown problem

When I go to Shutdown it hangs for quite a while (almost a minute) on
Logging Off and then eventually goes to Windows is Shutting Down and it
Shuts Down but it misses out 'Saving your Settings'

I have done a System Restore but I can't remember exactly when the problem
started so that didn't cure it

I have looked at the Auhma Site Page but nothing seems relevant

Most problems of other people seem to be hanging on Logging Off, same as me
but no-one else seems to have the missing 'Saving your Settings' problem

If not already in use on your machine, add the Microsoft add-on Service
called User Profile Hive Cleanup:

*Some applications cause issues at shutdown due to the way they
terminate their dependant services, for those UPHC won't help.

Thanks for your Reply

I shall probably have to use the Ms UPH Cleanup as a last resort

However, I would really like to know the cause of the problem in the first
place ie why it misses out 'Saving your Settings'

If the Hive is written quickly enough, that status on the screen is omitted.
When I shut down my machine I never see the "Saving your settings".

Ok - I understand that

In the past 'Saving your Settings' did often 'flash by' but it never stayed
long on 'Logging Off' either - the whole thing was very quick

Something has changed and it's bugging me but I understand these ShutDown
problems are difficult to solve

I have downloaded the Ms UPH CleanUp ready to Install if I can't find a
solution

Thanks
