I uninstalled ALL other apps except the OS, updated my BIOS, then theproblem went away (it successfully shut down and standby worked flawlessly,even came back with networking working).2.) I started installing stuff from microsoft's windows update site,including win2kSP1, etc etc. No problems started until windows media player7 was installed3.) Uninstalled windows media player including all plugins, problem wentaway (had to shut down twice to get dll's out of the way I'd imagine, butthen worked fine repeatedly)4.) Reinstalled windows media player, problem immediately returned.5.) Uninstalled the 3 "extra" components of windows media player (skins,something about cd burner support, and something else) and the problem wentaway after the 2nd shut down. System still works flawlessly.
