Since installing SR2 for Win 2K I get a shut down lockup where everything closes - saves current settings but the system does not shut down. I am left with a total lockup (ctl-alt del - mouse curser does not work) I have tried to end all tasks including vscan & firewalls before shut down but nothing seems to work. I have to reset then shut down during dos boot.
Any Ideas??

I've had this problem with machines upgraded from NT to 2000, then installed Service Pack 2. I've never had this problem with machines that have had 2000 installed from a formatted HD.

the problem is not MS 2000
the solution is to shut down all network connections.
R click on connection and select disable.
MS 2000 will then shut down correctly.
