Any ideas? Hmmm.... Uninstall everything Norton and your computer will work again. The box NU comes in is nice, so you can put it on a prominent shelf to brighten your day. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________ I found the culprit to be Norton AntiVirus AutoProtect. I disabled it and my computer no longer takes 40 sec to reboot. I tried all the troubleshooting steps listed at Symantec's website ( disabling power management, disabling fast shutdown, etc.) but nothing worked. Even if you load autoprotect from the startup programs it will still hang on shutdown. I just make sure I scan all my downloads and run Regular antivirus scans frequently.
