Doesn't sound good Maybe you carried over some bad vibes from Win9X and need to reinstall.

What browser are you using.... IE 5.5 used to cause troubles like that for me.

Huh - well, my desktop takes about 10 minutes after clicking shutdown for it to decide to start shutting down - and that known issue ain't it.

No IME on the welcome screen (No welcome screen!), and SP1 is installed. ^_^

Actually, I've slowly been tracking it down - it's something listed in taskmgr that's causing the delay, I know that much - I just need to care about it enough to bother looking more.
