I am getting this bigtime lag on shutdown. I am running XP Pro sp1 with all the hotfixes installed and the OS goes through its normal routine until it gets to the blue "you system is shutting down" screen. Than the harddrive activity light goes solid and does something for about 2 minutes than the system finaly shuts down.
Also for some reason when I defrag with norto SW2k3 the main partition, that only has the OS files on it, gets to like 98% and just stays there, the drive is working, but I have let it run for 2 hours and it never finishes the defrag. This does not happen if I ues the windows drive defrag util, nor does it happen on any of the other partitions.
I did check to see that "clear swap file at shutdown" was not activated in the reg, so I don't see that as being the problem. And this just recently started happaning, I am not sure what factors set it off.
Any ideas are much apreciated, thanks.
