Hi I'm getting a slightly annoying problem with windows hanging when I'm shutting the machine down. It only hangs a few seconds but I can tell it is happening. I went into the help system and started reading about the startup and shutdown troubleshooter and various things you can do using msconfig and there are about ten possible options to look at before going on to the next stage. I don't mind doing this if I have to, but wonder whether there is anything else I can try, possibly a program out there that is accessible, and that could look at any issues I may have, and, which doesn't take quite as long as accomplishing this with the windows troubleshooter. Any help and assistance would be appreciated. I hope it isn't anything that will get worse over time, but I'm wondering whether or not I should cure the problem now, rather than let it go on too long before the situation gets any worse.
