I have a Dell XPS system running XP pro. for a while now I notice that when I reset or turn off the system it goes thru "exiting, saving settings, then shutting down" it hangs up on the windows shutting down part. And I will have to hit the power switch manually.

Would this be a registry problem? And if so would getting a registry repair program fix? Which one ?

Any advise would be great, thank you
