Hey guys, my laptop has been getting less and less enjoyable to use as of late. I'll give you the specs if that will help.
Toshiba Laptop, Intel Celeron (yeah not great I know). 1.33 gHz, 128 mb RAM, 30 gb HD (with about 7 gb free), running Win XP w/ SP2. Regular Spyware scans (SpyBot S&D), antivirus (AVG Free), Firewalled (router and Win XP Firewall). System resources should be ok, I'm running minimal programs in the sys tray.
The main problem is that whenever I go to shut the PC down, it takes forever. I click on "Start - Turn off Computer" and from there it takes between 3 and 5 minutes (no joke) to simply load the box that gives you the options of "Turn off, Restart, Log off."
From there, once selecting "Turn Off," the PC takes an additional 5-10 minutes to actually shutdown.
Anyone have any ideas what I should check?
