When I reboot or shutdown, after I get the usual small windows that say saving your settings and then windows xp is shutting down, the last one goes away, and then it hangs for exactly 45 seconds and then reboots normally. I have already used bootvis, I have searched everywhere and there are some similar problems and a few tweaks that I've run across, but none actually explain the same problem exactly as I am experiencing. This happened all of a sudden. Can someone help me find a solution ? Maybe show me how to troubleshoot this so I can find out if and what program is hanging this up. It's wierd cuzz I never did get a prompt that some program is still running or not responding. seems like it all works fine except that it just does something extra for 45 seconds. Any ideas would be appreciated....

thanks
