My PC is taking an extraordinarily long time to shut down. Sometimes as long
as 5 mins. I noticed this around the time I downloaded SP2 although I do not
know if it's related. What can I do to regain a normal shut down. I have no
problem starting it up in a timely manner. Thanks!
 
Hi Connie ... You can try this and if it doesn't work just change it backto
what it was

Boot & Shutdown Speed Tweaks
These tweaks address some of the larger causes of slow Windows boot up and
shutdown times. Disable the "nVidia Driver Helper" Service

This relatively new feature has been included with some of the more recent
Detonator driver packages. What does it do? That's where it gets hazy. There
is no solid definition of what it is or what it does, and it is even left
off of nVidia's web site. The only thing that is definite about it is that
can slow down boot and shutdown times considerably.
Here's how to disable it. Go to Start > Run and type services.msc. Set the
startup value of the "nVidia Driver Helper" service to "Manual" or
"Disabled".
 
thank you so much!
