    Something isnt shutting down very fast thats all. It could be anything on your pc.

    We have the same problem when logging out/ shutting down. It takes forever to "save settings" It turned put to be the DCC. When I delete the connection from the pc it shuts down fast!

    you probably need to do a format & reinstall

    BTW: with the shutdown thing, try this[ot]i only did a quick search of the net for that, maybe there are better ones[/ot]

    Edit: i think disabling fast shutdown may fix it, but i can't remember how you disable it

    A corrupted file in the C:\Windows\Prefetch folder might be causing this issue. Go to c:/windows/prefetch, delete all files in there, this will help speed up your booting time aswell, see if this helps.
