Everything works perfect except when I go to start, turn off computer,
standby, turn off, or restart none of the standby, turn off, or restart
buttons work. I am running XP Pro with service pack 3. I have some security
programs running that sometimes don't recognize that a particular program or
file is safe to keep. I hope I didn't inadvertantly delete an important
registry key? Has anyone seen this before or can anyone help with this
problem?
Some programs running in the background didn't release the memory in a
timely fashion thus the shutdown delay!

Have a look in the Event Viewer and send us the error messages you will see
there in your next post:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.
