Slow Windows XP Shutdown

D

Danny W

I am using XP Pro and the shutdown is quite slow (on the Windows is Shutting
Down...) screen. It takes longer to shut down than to boot!

I use the welcome screen and ZoneAlarm pro (this may take a long time to
shut down as it used to take ages to start without the prefetch). I have
turned off unnecessary services.

How can I speed up shutdown?

Are you using a Logitech keyboard? Some models cause a significant delay in
shutdown?

Don't have the answer but am asking the same question.
After loading one of the recent XP Hotfixes (maybe
Q819696?) the rocket ship I bought turned to a slug on
shutdown. Maybe our answer lies in finding out whats
running??? If you get a reply could you pls fwd? Thanks
