Most of the time, my XP freezes up on shutdown. I get the screen that says
"Windows is shutting down"...and nothing happens. I have to shut it off
manually from there. Any suggestions? I have Norton which updates regularly
and also run Adaware, Spybot, Spywarenuker, Ewido and Microsoft Antispyware
(Beta). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
