XP Shut Down

[Bill Eisenhamer]

OK, this may be premature as I have not checked the event
logs yet. I think I am having a neuron misfire, but I'll
ask anyways:

OS is XP Professional on a Pentium IV. Sometimes the
computer shuts down fairly quickly and other times it
takes minutes to shut down. Why? Is it because those
times that it takes a long time to shut down there was
more activity/use of the machine? Or is it the fact that
the swap file is being saved. I do have 512MB or RAM in
this machine.

I'll do more research, but I figure I would throw this
out!

Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Suggestions:

Power the Computer Off or Reboot After Shutdown

This edit controls whether Windows should automatically power down or reboot
your computer once it has finished the shutdown process.

This edit automatically ends tasks and timeouts that prevent programs from
shutting down and clears the Paging File on Exit.

Thanks for the Reply Kelly!

I've done just that, shut it off when it seems to "hang".
I will see what happens now. I didn't think there was
much else to do.

Bill
