Well it seems as if you've got the problem solved. Solution: don't install wmp9
anymore. It's deeply embedded in the system, and i wouldn't install it witout a
system restore (in winme/xp), or without doing a fullback first. Some computers
just have problems wiht software that some people can't explain.

I have had the same problem in Win2K and the problem was solved on my system by this

Follow the directions... I hope this helps.

I had a similar problem using 3rd party audio drivers for my SBLive - without drivers,
all is fine; with them i get hangs on shutdown.
Dunno if that helps, but you may want to check this out?
