    Hi,

    I did a clean install of vista on my laptop and did all the tweaks mentioned on the Vista tweaks thread.

    I tweaked the "wait to kill service" at 5000 but my laptop takes a very long time to shut down and gets stuck at the "Shutting Down" screen. If i let it sit there, it shuts down in about 3-5 mins.

    Kindly advise me what all steps i need to take to bring it down to some acceptable level.

    Thanks
