Posted in other forums to no avail. Hoping one of you guys here can help in identifying my problem.

Spent the better part of yesterday searching the net for a fix to no avail. Since updating my eMachine 6805 lappy to SP2, it won't shutdown. I rarely go online with it hence the reason for the delay in upgrading the OS

Anyway, got frustrated and reformatted. No problems shutting down but as soon as i upgraded to SP2, it won't shutdown. It gets stuck on the "Windows is saving your settings". I didn't install any software or external hardware (using the touchpad) so the system is bare.

Any clues as to whats the problem?

So far, i disabled: "use the welcome screen" and "use fast user switching". Tried to shutdown in Safe Mode....no go
Laptop will restart without any hiccups, it just won't shutdown

For those who know the laptop, the BIOS version = 0F02.P00
