I have windows XP SP3 and everytime I restart or shutdown it takes a good 3 or so minutes stuck on the "saving your settings" message. I have installed the user hive cleanup thing, that doesn't work. I have ran chkdsk, still same problem, and I've tried system restore and that didn't help. I just format my computer like 2 weeks ago and this never happened before.. so I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
If you have any external drives, usb media card readers, usb pendrives, usb 4in1 extensions etc unplug them. Maybe that is your problem.
