Doesn't sound good Maybe you carried over some bad vibes from Win9X and need to reinstall.

Delicious hopes you solve your problem

What browser are you using.... IE 5.5 used to cause troubles like that for me.

This was a clean XP install no upgrade from 98. I've got IE 6.0, and netscape.

Maybe I should try a bios update. I've got a MSI board.

there is a known issue with XP shuting down... and there is a patch. Try it, it may work.

Huh - well, my desktop takes about 10 minutes after clicking shutdown for it to decide to start shutting down - and that known issue ain't it.

No IME on the welcome screen (No welcome screen!), and SP1 is installed.

Actually, I've slowly been tracking it down - it's something listed in taskmgr that's causing the delay, I know that much - I just need to care about it enough to bother looking more.
