GMan!
I am very glad that you have been able to eliminate the idea that it was
"anything"; I had been worried that it was pretty much "everything".
And YES I did reinstall both SP1 and SP2 straight after my reinstall of
XP Prof.
I notice that sometimes during the shutdown process, "Program not
responding" messages such as AcroRd32.exe or AVG 8 API tester come up
and I am forced to shut them manually. This still doesn't stop the
"hanging"
