turning off Windows XP Home Edition

[Guest]

I just had my computer in for service and everything was working fine until I
installed HP Printer, Scanner, Copier. I turned off AVG virus protection and
Windows firewall when installing. Now, when I go to shut down, my computer
brings up the windows box, saying it is " ending programs and saving
material". I have checked the task manager and there are no programs
running. I turned off the power to my new psc and it still happens. Once
or twice this box did not appear and when I went to restart my computer the
next day, it would freeze on me. When this happened, I have had to unplug
the power cord and wait until all power is gone. If anyone has any
information on this, I would love to hear it. I don't know why that box is
appearing and I don't know why my computer would freeze
