Guest Sebbelainen Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I've tried to install servicepack 2 a few times and everytime I have the same problem. After I have installed it and I try to shut down my computer it stucks in the "Windows is shutting down" window and then nothing happens. I have to shut it down with the button.
