What about adwares................. Avast doesn't scan for adwares............... Use Ad-Aware SE to scan your computer and use registry fixing tools such as registry mechanic......................

thats the problem that there seems to be no problem

Does that happen at every Shutdown?
Boot in SAFE Mode, and then shut down, do you get "Stop" error? If, not try reinstallin/upgrading video, audio, modem drivers.

@bharthbala2003, log is alright, does your PC get struck at "Saving Settings" stage while shutting down?

bharathbala2003 · Apr 17, 2005

well yes but not as long as it stucks for Windows is shutting Down

swatkat · Apr 17, 2005

@bharthbala2003, try this. Go to Start> Run and type services.msc. Here navigate to Terminal Services and disable it.

pradeep_chauhan · Apr 17, 2005

The long time taken for windows could be due to the cleaning of the page file by windows on exit. This is done for security reasons . In tweakXp there is a setting to disable it.

bharathbala2003 · Apr 17, 2005

well isnt ther any other way to disable it.. i gotta download tweak XP.. also i noticed that the startup time to get to the LOG ON Screen is bout 1 min a few secs.. y is that so.. cos in my old comp ( PIII 866 with 128 mb ram with WIN ME also) used to take only under 40 secs to reach my desktop..

swatkat · Apr 17, 2005

Have you tried disabling "Terminal Services"
Go to Start> Run and type services.msc and press ENTER. Here navigate to Terminal Services and disable it.

krishnathelord · Apr 17, 2005
