Guest Michael Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Hi, I have a Windows 2003 SBS which won't shut down properly! It goes through all the motions, stating Windows is shutting down, and then when it gets to the point that it would normally reboot / shut down (depending on what you requested), the central message about shutting down disappears and we are left with just the grey windows background. Any ideas? It was running SP1 up to a few days ago (it has had this problem for months), and installing SP2 has made no difference. Thanks, Michael
