re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer hangs at the ''Please Wait'' screen' Sunday, February 16, 2003 at 12:11 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike D (1 messages posted) I had the same problem with XP and found the solution by tweaking the settings in the Advanced Power Management portion of the Control Panel.... I'm sorry that I don't remember what exact setting it was - except that now my machine shuts down as it is supposed to.... Hope this helps...
