Guest Ian D Samson Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 Saving settings on shutdown now takes an eternity - about 6 minutes. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

If you're in a domain environment with a roaming profile then your network administrator should be able to resolve this issue.

There appears to be a hotfix available from MS http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;814770 but you will have to telephone MS to order it. plus start > run > gpedit.msc > Computer Configuration> Administrative Template System > Logon > Maximum retries to unload and update user profile ... set enabled and to say 5 ... default if not configured is 60!! the gpedit.msc fix does not resolve the event viewer error but stop the slow shutdown. Another workaround that can work is to do a net stop spooler before shutdown. Hope that helps -- Steve Parry MCP MVP http://www.gwynfryn.co.uk

No, "Pegasus", I am not in any network environment apart from my home network on which I have my desktop and laptop (connected by ethernet cable with the WLAN disabled, sorry hackers). So, no I do not have a roaming profile, nor do I have access to any "network administrator" to resolve my question. I am my own network administrator - started years ago on Banyan VINES, then the co I worked for threw out the Rolls-Royce and got a beat up VW Beetle called Novell Netware! So thanks, Steve, I will do "net stop spooler" just before shutting down. I'll be sure to look up gwynfryn.co.uk to see what your co is all about, because you deserve a raise! Ian
