Hi. I'm running Windows XP Pro, Sp2. All of a sudden within the last few
days the shutdown time has changed from about 15 seconds to over 4 minutes.
I have done a sfc /scannow, uninstalled any software I recently installed,
shutdown any tsr programs running, reinstalled my mouse drivers, run a few
chkdsk's, reinstalled my video drivers, looked at the bootlog file, changed
the registry settings according to Kelly's corner to tell the system to kill
applications quicker on shutdown, and basically done everything short of
standing on my head and formating my hard drive and starting from scratch.
I have reviewed via google most of the popular shutdown troubleshooting
notes. I find it extremely hard to believe that Microsoft in their infinite
wisdom and with a problem that probably has high prevalence could not create
a utility that could log shutdown events down to the last thing that doesn't
work properly.
Can anyone help???
Thanks,
