Rich,
This used to be pretty common in Xp before SP1 was released.
Even so, there appear to be several unfortunately random issues that could
be culprits. I am including a link that seems to have a pretty
comprehensive listing of possible solutions. I've had this issue myself,
but it has become less frequent and it doesn't seem to repeat. But, the
site below might give you some ideas to start with.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Hi Tim,
I ran "Super antispyware" and C Cleaner, Check disc then disc defrag.
The same problem occurred. I hit "windows", arrowed to "turn off" hit
"enter" arrowed to "turn off computer". I heard the tones but, the
computer never fully shut down. My sighted wife said the screen said
shutting down. after 30 minutes, I had to physically turn off the
computer.
Thanks for any other tips.
Rich

Sense your doing hard shut downs. I would run scan disk and defrag. Then
try a restart and if that works do a full shut down.

Hi all,
I have XP and 14.0 Lately, I've been having a problem with shutting
down my PC.
I will hit "turn off" and hear the famous tones but the PC doesn't
completely shut off.
I've waited over an hour at times
I have to hard boot it many times.
This seems to be getting more frequent.
Any thoughts?
Thanks so much.
Rich
