New Really slow shutdown on XP
I have a 2 year old laptop that takes forever to shutdown. What is really strange is that it takes 2-3 minutes just to show me the shutdown dialog (Hibernate, shutdown, restart, standby) all the while the disk is being accessed constantly. What why does Windows need to access the disk for 2-3 minutes straight before even showing me the shutdown dialog and starting the shutdown process? Any ideas?
New Sounds like it's swapping.
Try pulling up the process list and then watch it whilst you call up the shutdown box.

I could be way off the mark - I don't work with XP all that much.

Wade.


Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

In his first Inaugural Address, Ronald Reagan remarked that \ufffdgovernment is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.\ufffd While the quip has provided Republicans with a cheap slogan for two decades, the philosophy behind it is beginning to box them in. If they govern effectively, they invalidate their own antigovernment ideology. And when you elect people who believe that government won\ufffdt work, you shouldn\ufffdt be surprised when government stops working.
