Windows xp not shutting down!!:(

Well when ever I click on the shutdown button, the computer just not shutsoff.  I waited like 10 minutes but it usually took like 10 seconds to shutdown.  I do not have any programs running either.


Please help.  To turn it off I have to press and hold the Button on the pc to shut it off. 
That is really anoying.


Please help

This could be caused by a lot of potential issues Ingnition. What was the last software program install/update or change that you made on your computer that you can remember before the problem started occurring. Are you running Windows XP or Vista? Have you tried doing a System Restore to a time before the problem started occurring?
