Windows XP shuts down only after 2 or more attempts

When I attempt to shutdown/restart Windows XP, minor visual changes will occur (start menu and parts of the taskbar will turn black) but nothing else happens. I have to click shutdown or restart again, sometimes twice more before Windows will shutdown. I get no messages of any kind. I've tried disabling the NVIDIA driver helper service as recommended on some websites, but it doesn't help. I can't figure this out, anyone have any ideas??

I think you may be having a similar problem to me. Open Task Manager (CTRL+ALT+DELETE), and see if regedit is running (used by 'SYSTEM'). If this is the case, and your able to figure out the problem, then please let everyone know. I get the feeling that this could become 'one of those' widespread problems
