Hi, Jason ...

"Windows XP shutdown issues mostly center around a very few issues, especially legacy hardware and software compatibility issues." Read through this article: <a target="_blank" href=http://aumha.org/win5/a/shtdwnxp.php>

Also, spyware, malware, etc., can enter into the picture. So, if you aren't running anti-spyware apps. you are inviting trouble.
