If reinstalling XP doesnt work there are several good troubleshooting guides
to shut down problems on the web, it may be better going through these first
if you haven't already. I know there is a setting in XP that defaults to
Halt in the event of error at shutdown. This can be set to ignore errors
and shut down.
