WinXP - Home

Suddenly XP will not PowerOff - it gets past the 'Saving Settings' Page and then 'hangs' on 'Windows is Shutting Sown'

This happens with both Re-Start and Turn Off

There's nothing amiss in Device Manager, no 'Problem Devices' in System Info and no Error in the Event Viewer

I have tried 'Last Known Good Configuration', System Restore and sfc /scannow

I have looked at the MicroSoft KB Articles but none is exactly relevant

I have made no alterations in the BIOS

I don't want to do a Repair unless it is really necessary and would it help anyway?

Anyone know about this?

Thanks
