Need some help with this, whenever i try to shut down my computer, i always get explorer.exe not responding window msg. And everytime i have to click the "End Now" button to end the process in order to shut down my com. How do i correct this problem?

are u using 'Registry Mechanic 5.1'? if u do that is the problem.. the solution is uninstall it and use the registry mechanic 5.0 to clean up the problem.. if fail try to repair your windows after uninstall the registry mechanic 5.1.. if u're not using registry mechanic i'm out of idea.. happen to me before.. after installing one by one i found out that the registry mechanic 5.1 is the culprit..
p/s: its annoying that you have to wait to shutdown your pc everytime.. it make me reformat my pc for the first time it happen..

.. but have to be careful i guess

Nope, i dont have 'Registry Mechanic 5.1' installed. Just reformated my computer. Problem sloved ....... but another one emerged.

Cant seem to change the virtual memory, wanna set it at initial 2000Mb but it revert back to 1533Mb everytime my computer reboot. Any work around for it?

Are you using any antivirus software.. like NAV or SAV?

I've personally encountered this problem with Symantec Anti-Virus loading during Windows startup.

If it's possible with ZoneAlarm, set it to start up only AFTER Windows XP loads.. or when ZoneAlarm itself starts up.

its the same even when i disable zonealram on start up. Tried a few other methods like setting it to 0 or disable page file then reboot and then re-set it again but everytime it revert back to 1533mb, darn...
