Windows XP Prof. Slow Shutdown

I am using win xp pro, and the shutdown is very-vety slow, after showing log off box a blank xp blue screen with cursor visible comes and stays for 50-60 secs and then PC power downs.can anybody help.

 

Look in Kelly's-Korner for some possible reasons and solutions. Scroll to "Shutdown" after jumping to "S ".

:-( can't find, anything helpfull.

 

happens often to me, not always thought

and i set all the reccomended tweaks for time to wait to kill apps,

considerating that my xp pro is slow also on boot when connecting to the network, i could have a lunch on restarting....

this MUST be fixed!

 

Problem Resolved

The problem was that some stupid tweaking software had turn-on the setting to DELETE PAGEFILE at shutdown without letting me know.

 

Deleting the pagefile at shutdown would delay shutdown. Thanks for posting back with the problem and your solution.

Yes,
I remember reading, that tweak will slow down shutdown. It's a big file to purge.

Hello, budy I think my apps. can be a part of ur sigs. what do u say.

 

hey, your site asked me to install gain!

what "alternative" is this? to be more gatesian than billy?????

 

what?

what is GAIN and my site does not use it, pls. tell me more about it. I am CONFUSED??

 

I looked at your site. Lots of talk about a listing of the best Free software available. I saw three obvious links on the left; to one that offers a free trial (hard to find out how long), another that offers games at $10 each, and yet another that does claim to offer unlimited, free, legal downloads of all sorts of audio and video CDs which I absolutely don't believe.

I'm locking this thread and asking that you remove that link from your forum signature.
