re: windows xp shut down slow Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 9:10 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by jef nolan (3 messages posted) For what it's worth. I have the same slow shut down problem. I've done everything everyone has listed. Sometimes the problem is corrected, but it returns. I was shutting down a program in task manager one day and rediscovered the shutdown selection. I tried it and shutdown and restart were both at normal fast operation. I tried regular shutdown/restart at subsequent times and still took 2 minutes to get to the shutdown/restart selection and another 2.5 minutes to accomplish. Maybe this information may help to ultimately fix the problem, but for now, task manager is doing the shutdown/restart. thanks for any follow up, jef Written in response to: windows xp shut down slow (navi: Monday, September 12, 2005 at 8:25 am) Responses to this message: re: windows xp shut down slow (Bob Rubendunst: Friday, March 16, 2007 at 7:28 am) All messages in this thread [show all] windows xp shut down slow (navi: Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 8:25 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (yellow_submarine: Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 9:22 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (Dan Sarandrea, MCSE: Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 9:27 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (Matt: Mon, Oct 6, 2008, 5:45 am) re: Cleanup Routine (Cam: Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 9:28 am) re: Cleanup Routine (bïöµï¢: Wed, Oct 19, 2005, 11:45 am) re: Cleanup Routine (Cam: Wed, Oct 19, 2005, 12:03 pm) re: Cleanup Routine (bïöµï¢: Wed, Oct 19, 2005, 2:08 pm) re: Cleanup Routine (Cam: Thu, Oct 20, 2005, 2:14 am) re: Cleanup Routine (gary: Thu, Oct 20, 2005, 4:38 pm) re: Cleanup Routine (Cam: Fri, Oct 21, 2005, 1:18 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (Cam: Mon, Sep 12, 2005, 9:36 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (jef nolan: Sat, Mar 18, 2006, 9:10 am) re: windows xp shut down slow (Bob Rubendunst: Fri, Mar 16, 2007, 7:28 am) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
