XP shut down

[Guest]

When I first shut down Windows XP Home it does nothing, but when I then
immediately click Start, shut down a second time it shuts down normally. Any
ideas how to make it shut down on the first command?

For shutdown problems, first make sure your computer is completely
virus/malware-free:

If the machine is clean, go through this shutdown troubleshooter:
