| | Vista Shutdown takes forever -- 10 min+ or forever I just installed Vista on the spare partition of my XP developemnt box (Atholon 64 X2 4200 w/ 1GB) The old system was running rock solid. The Vista system has had a couple of unxpected reboots. The big problem for me is that a shutdown takes 10 or more minutes and often doesn't complete. Then I have to powered it down. Running on all Vista drivers - out of the box. Office 2003, IIS7, SQL Express SP1, VWD SP1. No funny stuff. Are other seeing anthing similar? Any troubleshooting ideas? |

| | Re: Vista Shutdown takes forever -- 10 min+ or forever Very impressive report! However.... Recommends defrag - I have Vista's auto defrag running Recommends larger paging file - I have Vista managing it A closer personal look shows that Google Destop's initial indexing seemed to overwhelm the stats used to calculate data for the report. There wasn't any clue about my show shutdown. I have done more research that Logiotech has a Vista kit for my webcam. I had been using the drivers that came with Vista and did catch one "LVPrcSrv quit running" dialog box, so I have upgraged that software "Michael" wrote: > to see if Vista itself detects a problem: > > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Performance information and tools > Advanced tools in left pane > > Michael > > "DaveS" <DaveS@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:8C69D95F-6157-4D3C-822F-2D2CE540008C@microsoft.com... > >I just installed Vista on the spare partition of my XP developemnt box > > (Atholon 64 X2 4200 w/ 1GB) The old system was running rock solid.

| | Re: Vista Shutdown takes forever -- 10 min+ or forever FYI On my Vista Home Premium, one partion C: 455GB Virtual Memory shows Automatic Manage Minimum 16 MB Recommended 3067 MB Currently allocated 2345 MB Does the defrag show a sucessfull run in the last week? (Mine is set up for once/week) Personnal note: I have stoped using Google Desktop Search (used it and was happy with XP). The included search with Vista seems to be sufficient (the XP search was lame).

| | Re: Vista Shutdown takes forever -- 10 min+ or forever Update: Derag had run, but I moved it to daily Pagefile was auto but only 1500, so I bumped it up to 2500 Purged event files, hoping that this would get rid of the data gathered during the initial Google Desktop index and probably Vista's initial index. BTW I use Google desktop because I have recovered so many acdidently deleted files from its cache that I feel I own it loyality. I have no experience with Vista's search yet. Seeing the size of your paging file maybe I should have picked a bigger number. From the way Vista uses memory maybe I should buy more and some stock in a memory company ;=} |

| | Re: Vista Shutdown takes forever -- 10 min+ or forever Using one of the monitor gadgets from Microsoft download, I show that most of the time I am using about %30 of 2 MB of installed physical memory. Expect that to go way up when I get around to doing some video editiong.
