My sisters laptop takes like 5 minutes to shut down her pc.

Oh and its Windows Vista Home Basic.

Anyways to speed it up?

Lack of hardware, and possibly Restore or Backup settings.

Try stopping any not used programs from running at bootup, use msconfig utility. How long as it been doing this? Tried doing system restore back to a day where it was working properly? Check for malware/viruses?
