shutdown issue

[Ron Badour]

Any error message and if so, please post it verbatim. Have you tried doing
a ctrl-alt-del and killing any application that is running before shutting
down?

Laptop locks during shutdown -- only way to stop is to hold down off
button. Goes thru initial stages, blue screen appears and then freezes.

You have a program running 24/7 that is not responding to windows
shutdown. Disable background apps one or two at a time to find out which
one is causing the hangup.

You might edit Msconfig & chk task mgr for running programs/services..
However,even after editing the problem could exist,to have a quick shutdown,
go to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand:HKEY_USERS\Default\Control panel\
Desktop,& double click AutoEndTasks.In the value data field,set to 1 close
out
regedit.Actually this is more of a tweak to xp than a fix,but it will work
as one...

Had a similar issue to this with an IBM Lenovo Thinkpad, it was resolved by
updating to the latest power drivers from them.

No errors are shown-- windows gets to screen "windows is shutting down",
but never does. System will shutdown in safe mode -- but not in regular
-- have tried shutting down processes in task manager -- basically even
if I close everything other than system processes -- still hangs.
