Topic: win XP + new 40G hard drive

[Simon]

How long have you waited, Hook?  I have XP, and mine takes ages to shutdown - sometimes over a minute, but it eventually does.

It could also be an application refusing to close.  Try manually closing stuff in your system tray and see if that makes any difference.

One cause of my PC hanging on shutdown is my Fujitsu DSL Modem, but that's just my PC.

All sorted now thanks Simon, must have been a glitch there somewhere.
Everything up n running fine now, even got it set up for all the Family now and all password protected etc etc.

Cheers Hook

Im very impressed with XP   every thing just zips along nicely now.
Thought I would just update everybody, all has ended on a happy note.

Found this site if anybody is interested in XP repair tools, I have added this to my fave sites.

Looks like a useful site Hook.  I especially like the actual photos of the screen, including the guy's reflection!!
