Media Player 9 won't allow win2000 shutdown of board

I and my brother both have windows2000, and have for some
time with no problem.

We both got media player 9, and both have our machines
hanging without a total shutdown when we shutdown, nor
will the machines reboot.

Neither of us had this problem before installing win med9,
and we have totally different set-ups, hal, software
configs.

When we shutdown, it shuts down to the board level,
leaving only the light on the monitor and the sound of the
fans to know that it's not powered all the way down.

Please help, this could easily cause an overheating
situation if we forget to forcibly shut down after
powering down windows 2000.
 
Sounds like your machines aren't compatible with the Roxio plug-in...

and

should fix this up.

did the reg fix, didn't help.
Uninstalled WinMedPlayer 9, with registry fix, didn't help.
Re-installed with reg fix pre-installed, didn't help.

What next?

The registry alone won't do anything. You would have to do the rundll32
thing mentioned at the first link, which will remove the Roxio plug-in from
your system. :)
