Slow Shutdown in new windows vista home basic

[Guest]

Have new computer with vista home basin pre installed.

Have added Office and a few other programs

also Zonealarm Security s\Suite.

Shut down is extremely slow.

Does any one have any ideas

Not inclined to do that as computer works well while on and this application
recommended by my bank and have used earlier versions with xp for quite a
while.
Does any one else have any other ideas.

Read the thread suggested and my zonealarm set up correctly.

..i close down within 5- 8 secs and
startup is barley 10 to 15 secs.

are you claiming you have a PC that can cold boot Vista in 15 seconds?

The problem was just some sort of hang. I haven't changed anything. while
shutting down my son pressed the dvd disc open button and the computer shut
down straight away and has done so since in a reasonable time (for me anyway)
Thankyou to anandk for the referral to the Winvista club as i will ge there
if i have any other problems.
