Can you post again and give as much info as you can with details of any error messages and details of what has changed between the time the machine was working ok and not
This should also include details of any software you have either installed or un-installed
This page may be a helpfull starting point

Another way is to google for Windows shut down problems

Probably the second most common shut down problem for Windows XP is that the shut down takes an excessive amount of time to complete. To understand why this happens, you must remember that the Windows operating system is not a single program, but rather a collection of individual services. Each of these services must be stopped during shut down. Therefore, a glitch related to any one of the services may prolong the shut down process or cause the shut down process to fail completely.
Many people have claimed that the Nvidia Driver Helper Service (used with Nvidia video cards) causes extremely slow shut downs. However, this is one of those cases in which an updated video driver usually solves the problem. Other people have mentioned that disabling the terminal services greatly expedites the shut down process. The Terminal Services are used for remote assistance, remote desktop, and fast user switching. If you do not use any of these features, then the Terminal Services can be safely disabled. You can access the services console by entering the SERVICES.MSC command at the Run prompt.
Another potential cause of slow system shut downs is that Windows contains an option to erase the system’s virtual memory and system hibernation cache at shut down. These security features are disabled by default because they take a long time to complete, and cause the system shutdown to look like it has frozen. Although these features are disabled by default, some privacy software will enable it.
To determine whether or not these features are enabled on your PC, enter the GPEDIT.MSC command at the Run prompt to load the Group Policy Editor. Now, navigate through the console tree to Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Local Policies | Security Options. At this point, locate the Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile option in the column to the right and verify that it is disabled, as shown in Figure C. If this option is enabled, you can disable it by double clicking on the setting and choosing the Disabled option.
:D Mr boss man Thank you tried the hammer but was a wee bit late
:D Jessica Thank you it is sorted now
:D Now Mr PB Thank you for you time and well explained detailed description of what i needed to do 8)
As i followed you i found going into the services.msc command only to find the tree you was on about
To witch i got the hammer Mr boss man had talked about in the earlyer post and hit the few branches coming of it
Then the in GPEDIT.MSC I then found the said tree to have root rot
The said tree is to be very old and bitter and a little twisted so i took the said hammer Mr boss man had first talked about and gave the rotten roots a good bashing
And as i was doing so found a program running very quietly in the back ground :shock:
Little thing was hiding from me
In closing down the said program i found windows to close down nice smooth and very fast indeed
Thank you all xxxxx
