re: PC is slow to Log off/ Shut Down... Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 11:50 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MaddMaxx (1989 messages posted) The problem is not with XP or your computer. It is with all the junk you have running (probably put on by Compaq) when you try to shut down. Get a handle on your startup programs with msconfig or startup.cpl or similar. Get rid of the factory "trial" stuff which is running in the background and chewing up bandwidth as it links to home base.
