Shutdown takes forever

It takes xp home more than three
minutes shut down. Sometimes I get the following
messages."You cannot quit Microsoft Word because a dialog
is active. Switch to Microsoft Word first and close the
dialog."
Or "the system cannot end this program because it is
waiting for a response from you." I get the above messages
even if I have not used Word at all.
Also I get the following sometimes: "The file Normal
exits. Do you want to replace the existing file?" This is
a reference to Word. The long shutdown occurs every time.

None thus far. I am wondering if the latest downloads from
Microsoft had anything do with it.

I have a feeling that there is a solution to this problem in the knowledge
base I am sure I saw it recently, have a look there
