I am not too sure what is going on here! Whenever you go to start-->shutdown and use any of the options it gives you a brief Hour Glass and then you just go back to the Windows Desktop. I tried doing CTRL alt Del and get the same thing using those Commands. I have noticed there is a bit of Spyware on the PC. mywebsearch... I removed those (don't see how they could be the problem though). Unsure what is going on!

Any Ideas??

Its probably a startup process causing this (it happened to my win2K machine with Copernic Desktop).

Download MSCONFIG from here: http://pctherapy.ca/opiate/msconfig.exe

Save it in your WINNT directory.

- Now just power down your PC (hold the power button for 5 seconds).

- Get into SafeMode: http://www.pchell.com/support/safemode.shtml

-- Start - Run - type "msconfig" and press Enter.
-- Click the Startup tab, and then click "Disable All".
-- Click the Services tab, check "hide all microsoft services", and then uncheck the remaining entries.

Apply - Close - and have it reboot.

Now back in Normal mode, try to shutdown the correct way. If it works with no problems, then run MSCONFIG, and start rechecking items one-by-one (with reboots) until you find the culprit.

Also, i would advise keeping your startup programs and services at a bare minimum (ie. Antivirus software is all I have running at startup) - this will improve the startup/shutdown and overall performance of your PC.

Go figure is right
My 2K machine, even after cleaning up the startup, will still "hang" on shutdowns.. but not as much... could be a win2k bug.

Glad to hear!

Thanks Bradly... The Problem is now Resolved... I Tried a Remote Shutdown as the Computer is away from Head Office after doing the Shutdown the User said he was able to Shut it down Normally (Go Figure )

Anyways Thanks Bradly much Appreciated

Yeah very well could be a Windows Bug?? Try explaining that to a User!
