Vista takes 55 minutes to shutdown

Hi Juan,

What make and model of motherboard do you have? Make and model of pc?
If you do indeed have an Intel Gigabit NIC, it most likely would not even be
working with Marvel Yukon drivers, so perhaps it has 2 onboard NICs?

Dear Jane, it list the Yukon Marvel driver, but I know that I have an
Intel Gigabit device instead.

Dear Jane, you were correct, an extra Yukon NIC existed. The problem
was that two ".INF" files related to this product existed in the
"C:\WINDOWS\INF" folder, and Vista choose the old one instead of the
latest one.

I took the opportunity to download an even newer driver set from the
manufacturer WEB site, and apparently, the problem was solved.

I must to confess that I never use wired networking on my PCs, so I
had no idea about how many NICs I had in my PCs, and if were working
OK or not. I use wireless networking only.

I was having the same problem and guess what it was!

I noticed my secondary CD drive LED stayed on during the shutdown process. I thought that was odd. I had Combat Flight Simulator game in it, took it out and shutdown took less than 5 seconds!!!!!!!!! I guess the system got hung up reading something on the CD. Check all your drives for left behind disks,,,LOL
