97506 2002-11-10 01:54:00 I am plagued by slows shutdowns in Win XP home version (SP1). I've read all the articles on the net that come up when you type in 'slow shutdown' in a google search box but none of them apply. I've checked out event viewer and the error source is 'userenv' and the symbolic name is 'EVENT_HIVE_SAVED'. The attached message is

'Windows saved user %1 registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.'

Anyone know what I need to do from here?

Just wondering, how long did it take you to read all 170,000 articles? It seems strange to me that none of those 170,000 articles applied to your situation - seems the odds of us hitting that problem are pretty slim :p
