Win 2000 Shutdown takes a long time....
-
It just keeps displaying the shut down dialog box saying "Saving your settings". Lol what setting is it saving. How can I tweak this. Any registry tweak available. Dang! I am sick of this... It starts up fast but shutdown... X|

This is a known bug in Windows XP, for which Microsoft has a supported fix. To learn how to get this patch, see MSKB 307274, “Windows XP Stops Responding (Hangs) During Windows Shutdown.” see: http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.php[^] waxie
It doesn't hang, just takes more time to shut down. This is not Win XP but Windows 2000 Pro

Have you tried booting to safe mode? If you can get to shut down properly in safe mode, I would assume that it's not a hardware problem, but a software problem. You can also try installing sp4. and you can also check this out: http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-nt-2000-2003/1474-windows-2000-shutdown-delay.html[^] waxie

Everthing is fine no hardware problem just a small glitch, nothing else. I am somehow missing a small registry tweak. Letme check that link.

There is no "registry tweak" for this. Windows is busy doing something. Perhaps you have a Service installed that isn't shutting down properly? Maybe a virus scan going on that won't quit immediately? Maybe you installed a driver to read SD cards? Camera driver? ... There's thousands of reasons this may happen. The trick is figuring out what happened or was installed just before the problem starting occuring. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

There are many reason that might cause windows to take very long time to befor it shutdown: 1. Your computer might run alot of service in the background which require an operating system to stop during the process of shutting down the computer. 2. If your computer connect to the network, make sure that are there any mapped network drive which require you synchronize offline file to the server. Synchronize file period might take time based on the file size and the number of the file. 3. If you have share any resource on the network, make sure how many session that other user access to your file or resource. Windows need to close all of those session before it shutdown. Hope that these idea could help you to solve the problem.

It has got only 8 to 10 services running in the background. Nothing else. Not even the anti virus is running.

No shared resource either. Don't know what is this "saving your settings" dialog doing. No hard disk activity. Nothing but still it saves. lol.

No unwanted service is running in the background.

I installed Service Pack 4 and there started the problem. It doesn't hang. Before it used to take about 5 secs to shut down now it takes 2 mins to shutdown. X|

I have no idea. About the best source you're going to find is support.microsoft.com[^]. You may also want to check into the list of Post-SP4 Hotfixes here[^]. And this[^] might be of some interest too. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome -- modified at 12:00 Monday 23rd January, 2006

This word remind me in the past. I used to work with windows xp pro, it is working normally after installation. But after I install MCAFEE 6.0, it has a problem. The problem is the same to you while windows is shutting down. The saving setting dialog still appear on the screen and the computer didn't shutdown. After I decide to remove MCAFEE 6 and use anti-virus from other vendor. The computer is working fine. I can't say that the problem is cause from MCAFEE because i don't found any error message that indicate about the problem.
