Vista - Slow Shutdown / Restart

Hi,

Is it normal that Vista take more than 60Minutes to to either a shutdown or
a retart

My Computer is as follow:
CPU : AMD 5200+ x64 x2, socket AM2
RAM : 4Gb DDR
Video : EVGA Nvidia 8800GTS
Motherboard : Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8EKRS2H
Running Vista Ultimate x64

Thank You in Advance
Merci a l'avance

Go to the Control Panel, Performance Information and Tools, Advanced Tools.
It should tell you of your Performance Issues and why it is taking so long
to shut down. You can also view your performance details. It may just be a
program that is not shutting down correctly, and needs to be done manually
to get a faster shutdown.

Hi Martin,

Obviously it's not normal or you wouldn't be asking this question. Check
that all drivers are updated and also see what processes are running at
temination point. Something isn't properly acknowledging the terminate
command, and figuring it out may take some time. I would start by disabling
any resident active software (especially AV software) and retry restarting.
If that fails, then the next step is to run Task Manager and selectively
kill some of the processes before trying to restart. Once it does it
quickly, you will know that one of the processes that you killed is the
problem. It may take some trial and error to isolate the culprit, however
once you know which one it is there should be some way to permanently
resolve it.

It does happen most of the time, but not as long, but it can take between 5
to 10 minutes for it to shutdown .

I think that I found the guilty party: Avast Anti-Virus, unfortunately it's
the only one that works in x64

That the way I always run any installtion in Vista, and it still doesn't
want to install

Beside I read many things about AVG, and I got the impression that it is
sub-standard, that I would be better off using Norton or McAfee

interesting. perhaps a re-download? try www.filehippo.com

i have always found it rather good. but then, it is the only virus scanner i
have ever properly used. i might give asquared a go alongside avg as it
doesnt have a realtime scanner.

(going off topic here) what have people said to give you the impression that
its substandard? delayed updates? and i would stay at least three country
miles clear of norton, (but thats my opinion anyway).
