Windows XP Shut Down problem....

[Bob]

Everytime I go to Shut Down Windows XP, it doesn't Shut
Down the first time, I always have to go and Shut Down a
second time before it actually shuts down. Does anyone
know of any remedy for this.......Thanks, Bob

Rick,
I went to that site, and did everything asked, and
the PC still doesn't shut down on the first try. Is there
anywhere else to go and look for help?

Thanks,
Bob
