I am sick of looking for the answer to this.

Every shut down of my PC results in an error in the event log:

This has been ongoing for over a year. I research it when I have time.
This problem slows the shut down process so that it takes more than two
minutes.

I have looked at real.com and several other areas, including MS KB. No help.

Does anyone have an answer for this?
