I'm having a problem (well, several problems, possibly) with shutting

Any ideas?
Create a Bootlog.txt file at the next cold start and then shutdown.
The file should show you where the process is failing to unhook/close
various bits of the OS.
Load it into Wordpad and search for the string "fail" which should find
(at least) "ndis2sup" and "SDVXD" items. Any more should be
investigated.
OK, I did that. "fail" appeared only on ndis2sup and SDVXD. On
shutdown, the termination section looked like this:
---BEGIN---
Terminate = User
Terminate = Query Drivers
EndTerminate = Query Drivers
Terminate = Unload Network
EndTerminate = Unload Network
Terminate = Reset Display
EndTerminate = Reset Display
EndTerminate = User
Terminate = KERNEL
Terminate = RIT
EndTerminate = RIT
Terminate = Win32
---END---
For reasons that remain unclear, the machine has now taken to hanging on
normal shutdown.
On "Restart in MS-DOS mode", it still shuts down to the orange-word
screen, but not when logging. When logging a restart-to-DOS, it hangs
just like a normal shutdown.
Here's mine:
Terminate = User
Terminate = Query Drivers
EndTerminate = Query Drivers
Terminate = Unload Network
EndTerminate = Unload Network
Terminate = Reset Display
EndTerminate = Reset Display
EndTerminate = User
Terminate = KERNEL
Terminate = RIT
EndTerminate = RIT
Terminate = Win32
EndTerminate = Win32
EndTerminate = KERNEL
--END--
So it looks like you have two items missing - the last two. How you might
fix
it I don't know but they are certainly good clues to mention when asking
for further help.
