I have had this happen several times, and it has always been the nic. If your system has one remove it and try the shutdown again.

Check whether your motherboard support bot AT and ATX Power Supply and u have a Baby AT Power Supply and APM enabled in your BIOS. If this is the case disable APM in your BIOS

The best course of action would be to wipe your drive and install XP Pro (or 98SE). The consistent factor with ME is once you resolve one issue, another one rears it's ugly head. I know it sounds drastic but nothing good has come of ME. In most cases, if your system came with ME preinstalled, it should be compatible (hardware-wise) with XP.

However, M$ has a shutdown supplement on the website that should help resolve.
