Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit - Slow Reboot and Shut Down

Just recently my personal system has been slow to reboot and shut down... When I say slow it is VERY slow... Like 5+ minutes to shut down lately on a pretty bare system with no applications running on the desktop. I click shut down and it shuts down, the screen goes black, and then it just sits there for minutes with a black screen. It finally shuts down, but I swear it's getting longer and longer. Anyone else seen this issue?

I was just going to post asking if anyone has noteworthy problems with Vista 64... Crap I did not need to hear that. I just ordered a set of RAM which matches what I have now for a grand total of 4GB. And now apparently it doesn't shut down right? GRR...
Apop, anything else I should be aware of for the big jump to 64 bit? (Hopefully good things, please?)

I have two complaints...
#1 Slow Reboots and Shut Downs
#2 I can't get Photoshop CS3 to work correctly with Vista 64-Bit and my pair of Samsung SyncMaster 204B monitors.
Other than the rebooting issue I mentioned above when I start the full legit copies of Photoshop CS2 or CS3 I get this ICM error and all my colors are goofy in photoshop... This means I can't use features like auto color and auto level as the color is right... If i adjust a photo manually the colors I'm looking at are not right... If I go to save an image for the web it displays correctly... It just doesn't display right when I go to edit the image... This is a major concern to me and has resulted to me doing all the picture editing for LR on my laptop. If anyone knows how to correct this situation please do tell me as I need help!

I have no idea, because I use one monitor and Photoshop CS2. Also, rebooting is a non-issue for me because my computer stays on all the time

disable a lot of them. I'll dig up the guide I used. Vista was taking a couple minutes for it to shutdown with me to. Now boom, with in 10secs its off

You could try Standby/Sleep, that's all I ever do with my laptop. Boom, two seconds and it's "off"...

yes i had this prob for a while
it would shutdown but just sit there with a blank screen (when i shutdown or restart)
i tracked the prob down to my printer (canon mp530) if i have it turned on when i shut down or reboot i get the slow shutdown and slow restart
but if i turn my printer off before i restart no problem

These registry tweaks seem to have worked for me (Vista Ultimate 64bit). I would suggest if you don't understand them then don't play with the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
WaitToKillServiceTimeout 5000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manger\Memory Management
ClearPageFileAtShutdown 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction
Enable Y

I tweaked one setting in Vista in a reg key and it killed my shut down time (seriously, it took five minutes to shut down).
It finally crashed so I just reinstalled Vista from x86 to x64 and now everything works fine.
