Slow Shutdown in new windows vista home basic

Not inclined to do that as computer works well while on and this application
recommended by my bank and have used earlier versions with xp for quite a
while.
Does any one else have any other ideas.

Read the thread suggested and my zonealarm set up correctly.

read this thread please 'ZoneAlarm Crashes and Slow Boot (Manifest Tec
Blog)
(http://manifest-tech.com/blog/2007/0...d_slow_boo.php
i am affraid if you want your system to shut down faster and ru
faster.. remove zonealarm it causes 20 to 30 secs even more tim
booting up and i would guess the same shuting down ..this is a fac
highlighted in this link,, i am surprised a bank would recommen
it..they would reccomend a £10,000 bank loan . if you signed on th
dotted line. its best to ask the hardcore users that use zonealarm an
norton ,,there feedback it tried and tested. this app is like norto
bloatware all hidden instances running in the background.. that is usin
time to startup and close down ..i close down within 5- 8 secs an
startup is barley 10 to 15 secs

are you claiming you have a PC that can cold boot Vista in 15 seconds?

when i turn my pc on ,,from the time the window screen appears ,,it
takes about 15 seconds thats it..and shutdown is super fast about 10
secs abit more than i said..i would not lie about this,,cold boot i
would say about is about 30 secs,, thats it..i actually timed it ..this
is using vista ultimate..in xp is slower but still quiet fast xp about
40 secs cold boot and about 15 to 20 secs shutdown,,i am running a dual
boot on 2 hard drives and cpu is athlon 64 x2 6000 with 2 gig of ram
...this as always been the case i dont run bloatware,, and only anti
virus starts in taskbar.. i dont have msn messinger yahoo messinger
Dvix ,,real player quicktime etc ... or any other apps in startup,,i
have tweaked xp and vista quite alot to get a fast startup and
shutdown..i am sure theres alot of users systems that do the same on
here. theres plenty of tips to make xp and vista start faster.

The problem was just some sort of hang. I haven't changed anything. while
shutting down my son pressed the dvd disc open button and the computer shut
down straight away and has done so since in a reasonable time (for me anyway)
Thankyou to anandk for the referral to the Winvista club as i will ge there
if i have any other problems.
