shutdown / f4 problem

[daryla]

have a odd issue with xp pro, running sp2.

it boots fine, doesn't complain of any issues, no spyware or viruses
running. fi it makes any difference im running NIS.
If i am at a blank desktop (no programs open) you can do a ALT+F4 to
bring up the logoff,shutdown,reboot menu or click on the start button
click on turn off the computer. the time it takes to bring up that
menu is over 2 minutes.

if i hit ctrl+alt+del and shutdown from there it instantly shuts down.
if i wait for the menu to appear and then hit shutdown or reboot it
also works fine. It just takes an exceedling long time to do such.

I also have had the task manager open when i do this to check cpu
useage and such.. none of the TSR's or services go above 3 in cpu
useage.
Anyone else haveing issue?

also tried a SFC /SCANNOW to check and it came up with no errors.
This only does this when i upgrade to sp2.

You might try turning off some programs before you try to shutdown to see if
it makes any difference. If you do it one at a time, you will know which
one is taking the time.

Do you ever get any End Now messages? Have you check the Event Viewer in
Admin tools to see if anything shows up there?
