Hi:
I have been having the following issues with my 'all patched' XP SP2 machine.
Startup:
1. While the machine boots wonderfully, it takes almost 2-3 mins to really
allow me to do anything with it. Just keeps loading the 'normal processes'.
Nothing really strange here.
Shutdown:
2. Many a time, the machine freezes on shutdown. Task Mgr shows under
Applications a dude going by 'SysFader' (related to Darth Vader???? )
After this the Task Mgr freezes too.
Hard Reboot is the only solution I could figure out in such a scenario.
Tried and Tested:
3. Updated all drivers. Problem persists.
4. Checked for spyware. Nothing here.
5. Scanned with Symantec Antivirus. Nothing here.
6. Enabled disabled services like Terminal Services which 'may' be giving
problems. Problem persists.
7. Clear pagefile during shutdown - disabled. Problem persists.
8. Tweaked Display config under
My computer > properties> Advanced Tab> Performance - Settings. Doesnt work.
TIA
