Hello. My system freezes at shutdown and will not shut down. Also, when I try
to print nothing happens until I reboot and then it prints. Someone told me
the issue was with corruped registry files and to install the following
patch. When I go to this website I get page not found. Does anyone know the
correct patch or how to fix this? Please let me know. Thank you.

Figure it won't shut down cause there's a print function still
waiting.
Check your WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS directory and make sure
it's empty.

Start | Run <type in> drwtsn32 <enter>
Reading the application errors will usually point to your problem

Start | Run <type in> eventvwr <enter>
Reading the applications might give you a clue



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management]
"ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000001

This just deletes the pagefile


[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop]
"AutoEndTasks"="1"

This says to kill task - a frozen system won't respond to it

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"

This says to wait forever for the system to kill a process :)

Chances are that you just have some sticky/odd app that wont release.
Clean out your system. Remove all apps not needed to run 24/7. Remove
all apps that you've installed that only had a single test before you
installed them.
