 VERY, very slow shutdown
YES I did download it and install it. Did not do the trick.
Shutdown takes 10 or more minutes.

VERY, very slow shutdown
Maybe it's an issue of defective hardware then. In this case you'll need to
call HP and have them replace it for you as it is still under warranty if it
is new.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention very well (not enough coffee yet). I just
read how your computer shuts down fine in safe mode. Why don't you go into
the System Configuration Utitlity - go to Start -> Run, type in msconfig and
press enter. Go to the Startup tab and turn off one thing at a time so that
it doesn't load after the computer starts up. Then once your computer has
shut down properly you will have found your culprit software.
If this doesn't work you can always get a HiJackThis log or an Autoruns log
for us and we can try to figure out if something isn't supossed to be there.

Glad to hear that it's working fine again. I was really looking foreward to
hearing what the exact problem was though. But all's well that ends well.

VERY, very slow shutdown
I thank all of you who tried to help. It just did not work.
Here is what I did:
I backed up a lot to another internal harddrive, which I installed.
Then, with some trepidation, I went to HP Restore, the F10 key.
It allowed a restore whith leaving all data files intact (what a great thing
that is, even though I backed it all up). I restored the HP way and all
works fine.
A startup of about 2 minutes and a shutdown of 1 minute.
The Applications I have to re-install, but that is easy, since it kept the
data files.
So, I am now very happy with HP again.
I thought you would want to know this all.

Sorry, but that's very poor advice. He's running only a single anti-virus
program, and that's good. He's running multiple anti-spyware programs and
that's also good.
Note what Eric Howes, who has done extensive testing on Anti-Spyware
products, states:
"No single anti-spyware scanner removes everything. Even the best-performing
anti-spyware scanner in these tests missed fully one quarter of the
"critical" files and Registry entries" See
