Guest Steve Gage Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 Hello Folks, I am wondering if there are any particular things I should look for in trying to diagnose a long (about a minute) shutdown time. The delay appears to be in the "Saving your settings" phase. I created a new account, and it shuts down after just a second or two, so it would not seem to be a hardware glitch. Any ideas? (running Windows 2000, SP4, all updates) Thanks in advance, - Steve
