Hi Billie,

This means that you have a program or process running that is not wanting to shutdown gracefully when you chose to shutdown. This will show you how to set it so when you chose to shutdown, it will make the program or process shutdown quicker.

Your welcome Billie. Let us know how it went.

ok i adjusted the shut down and it was quicker but still slow ,so i looked in event logs and this is a few of what i have logged down
this service caused a delay in the system shutdown process
web dav service dll
lanman server
dps wdi diagnostic policy service
svhost.exe. host process for windows services
task schedular engine and a few more
what is causing all these errors some are critical errors aswell

Billie,

I'm afraid that I do not know what these are. All I can tell you is that it's either a program or driver that uses theses services that runs in Vista and not in Safe Mode. You can open Resource Monitor from Task Manager in both Safe Mode and regular mode to see if anything stands out at you.
