Steve,
I had the same problem on a networked PC (Novell 3.12, DOS)  After going
through Microsoft's shutdown troubleshooting process with no success I found
that if I disconnected from the network either physically or simply logged
out and closed the DOS window I was able to shut down without a problem.
Still don't know why though.
