Slow computer
Reply
Hi, I'm not sure if someone can help me.

My computer is suddenly slow now.
When I click the shutdown button it takes about 2 minuets for the computer to shutdown where before it was quick.
The computer is about 2 years old and I’m running windows XP.



Thanks,
Maria

Hi Maria

When you click the shutdown button, windows is going thru a process of unloading all the programs, connections that you have loaded when you was using your computer.

When a program or connection is not shutting down or not responding, windows will wait about 30 seconds before it will close the program / connection anyway. So in your situation is sound like you have a program or connection loaded when you use your computer. When you shutdown windows, windows is waiting for the program to shutdown, that’s way it take so long for you computer to shutdown.

Thanks Deci

You were right. My computer was setup to connect to my work computers thru the internet. After changing the setting on that connection my window is now shutting down as it use to.

Thanks again, Maria
