I MEDIA 5093 - slow XP sutdown
Ever since it was new my 2.5GHz I-Media 5093 has always been very slow to
shutdown. It always gets there, but can take 50s to do so. Reloading XP doesnt help. Any clues? TIA Andy |

That's slower than this PB Cyrix MII 333Mhz'er with XP Pro. What all is running still when you're shutting down? |

If you are sayoing 50 secons for 50S
That is not abnormal Actually that is fairly fast Before Shutdon all the settings are saved This is normal with Windows XP and 2000 are much better at this setting saving It takes longer with rhese 2 OS Actually a couple of minutes is what it takes on this side "Acedrew" wrote in message .. .

Nothing is running other than whatever XP has going itself - i.e the problem
occurs even after a clean install. I have had lots of XP machines, and even the ones with slower CPUs and less memory shutdown faster.

Start Regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. Click on the "Control" Folder. Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" Right click on it and select Modify. Set it a value lower than 2000 "Acedrew" wrote in message ... Nothing is running other than whatever XP has going itself - i.e the problem occurs even after a clean install.

TIA Andy I was looking for that tip too. It slowed my machine down even more, when I tried it before. It was like it took twice as long to wait to kill service! But, remember, I'm talking about an ancient machine here. |
