as per title my windows xp is not shutting down correctly it gets past windows is saving your settings then freezes on windows is shutting down?
Also is there a free utility out there to check over the file structure of the pc to make sure all files are where they should be.
Lastly is there a better defrag tool out there than the windows xp packaged one.
many thanks in advance

Xp uses chkdsk,
Go to Start | Run | type in cmd
Type in chkdsk /f
Click OK
You may be prompted to restart your PC.. do so
The usual causes of XP not shutting down are that you have a faulty driver somewhere, and in the vast majority of those cases, it is the graphics card driver that is at fault, so check the integrity of the drivers and if necessary, ensure that you have the latest available
XP uses a whittled down version of diskeeper, and that was and still is the best available. However, one of the biggest issues is that pagefil.sys and hiberfil.sys are never defragged. This is because they are always being used
Downloading and running PageDefrag (35kb freeware) can overcome that obstacle.
The alternative is to buy the full version of Diskeeper, and to be honest, not worth the money!
