Serious Error..

.., it seems every time I go to shut down / standby / restart my computer or even pressing ALT + F4, my computer has the little eggtimer thing showing something is happening. After 20 minutes of my computer doing nothing, my start bar disappeared etc I am forced to turn it off by the switch and have had to do this recently.

Any thoughts?
 
Ran ADAWARE-SE and had a tracking cookie, that was all. So I'll report back tomorrow morning whether it works or not!
 
Still doesn't work... Any thoughts?


Try Defragging like Kornowski said. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do, you might want to try reinstalling windows. Not wiping the hard drive or anything, but doing a recovery install.
 
Sounds like something not shuting down, have you ran a anti virus scan
As far as defraging its at Start-Accessories-System Tool-Disk Defragmenter, and no it doesnt remove your data.

It should not take that long for a 74 gb, depends on how bad it is, from a few minutes to a hour, you might just have a driver hanging when you shut down, have you updated them all.

Does that help? :P
 
did you actually defrag it after you analyzed it? Cause that screenshot shows you analyzed it but not actually defraged.
 
edit// i defragged my raptor and still have the problem! Thinking it might have something to do with my theme, so I'm re-installing it like at the start. (worked fine)

edit2/ it now works! i re-installed vista transformation pack and all works fine. thanks!
