Hi, I have been having slow (4 min ish) shut down times on my 64bit windows 7 pc for a while now and i could never find the cause, it does it in safe mode and when all external devices removed and startup programs stopped in msconfig. So until i found this site I didnt know about the trace program but i dont understand the file so I am hoping you guys can help me by analysing it for me and telling me what the problem is. As it was 175mb i compressed it to 22.5mb in winrar and uploaded it to filesonic.com I hope that is ok. I really want to get this solved its been driving me nuts for over a year! Thanks in advance.
