pc hangs during shutdown

[gabe810]

well i just recently installed windows xp home on my other pc, and i've had no problems on it at all except the shutdown sequence. it gets the shutting down screen, and then after that the screen just turns blue and my mouse pointer is there but it doesn't move. i've tried everything in the help and support thing in windows and the shutdown registry patch thing, but they didnt work.

help!!!

Have you installed all the windows updates?

[gabe810]

yes i have, but nothing works.....

Re-start in safe mode & see if you can shutdown then.

[gabe810]

ahhh......... shutting down in safemode doesnt work either...... what else should i try?

[merlin_2]

have you scanned from worms/trojans etc..<best option is safe mode>....winxp is prone for this. Did this happened when you connected to the net??.....the blaster worm ///sasser worm etc.are still doing the rounds.........try msconfig in the run box and chose selective start-up......

[gabe810]

yea, i've scanned for worms. no worms or viruses....... and i've been usin selective start up for a while now. the only hardware that i added to it is a linksys wireless adapter for my wireless network. i first started noticing the problem ever since i installed xp on my pc. right after it installed, i didn't put anything on it and the first day i shut it down was when it started. and its happend every single time i tried to shut it down. this never happend to me when i had windows 98 on the pc. eeeeeeeek.......

sorry for not keepin it in one thread....... just gettin a little impatient...... hehehe
