XP Slow Shutdown
About a month ago (~Oct 1/10) I noticed my computer was taking about 5 minutes to shut down or restart. Boot up is normal. When I shut down, the message "Windows is shutting down" stays up for about 5 minutes.I also noticed that fast user switching is not working even though it is enabled.I checked the system event log, and each time I boot up, the following error is recorded:" The following boot start or system start drivers failed to load: TermDD"I ran a boot log which recorded multiple entries of:"Did not load driver\systemroot\system32\drivers\termdd.sys"Also, under device manager, the terminal server keyboard driver, and terminal server mouse driver have yellow exclamation marks.I'm running XP Home SP3 with current updates.I have done malware scans with several programs and nothing comes up. All other functions appear normal.Any suggestions would be appreciated.1 person got this answerI do too

I recently did a repair install of XP and found that, because I had installed from the original disk + SP3, I had installed IE6. The shutdown took forever. Once I noticed IE6 and downloaded and installed IE8 the problem was solved.
