What OS are you using? What exactly is 'a bit slow' (give it to us in seconds).

Does it help to terminate avast resident protection before shutting down?

Thanks
Vlk

kanga: please, check your EventLog (don't know how to get there in WinXP).

In EventViewer, check Application log for event from 'UserEnv'. Is it there? What does it say?
