I assume the UPHClean service is installed correctly and shows
at least a "started" event in the Application Event log at
startup of the PC
I also assume you got the latest UPHClean version, see:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=837115
The trick that worked for me for some time (W2K SP4 fixed this
problem for me) was to stop the Spooler (Command Prompt):
net stop spooler /y
Then do the Shutdown.
After Startup, start the Spooler again (Command Prompt):
net start spooler
You can try these command "manually" from the Command Prompt.
If they work, you can use a logoff and logon script to automate
these stop and start tasks.
