Windows 7 won’t shutdown

by spiralingcrazies . Updated 14 years, 8 months ago

Brand new Gateway PC (desktop). Installed Office 2007 and McAfee antivirus.

Looks like something is holding it up, I reinstalled the drivers but I think it might be a software issue where a program is not exiting properly and holding the system down.

Every once in a while the system will shut down but most of the time it hangs on shut down, times out and errors out.

Any ideas?

I heard there is software that can measure and request shutdown on some apps but have no idea what it is called?
