I just did a restart, and found that it does indeed Restart in 15 to 16 seconds. It's only a shutdown that takes nearly 4 minutes. This is quite odd, but I guess I can live with it. Thanks again, Buckeye

Andre, First, thanks for all the time you spend on this. My Windows 7 installation started acting strangely after I moved My Documents to a secondary drive, so I made an image copy, wiped the boot partition and reinstalled. Because I have an Upgrade license, I did not activate on 1st install, shutdown and "upgraded" the original Windows 7 install. This seemed to work well except that the shutdown now takes 3:52 to 3:55 (m:ss). Other than Windows and MS Updates, I installed Avast Free v5 and an AD1888 sound driver from the motherboard vendor in XP compatibility mode. The motherboard is PC Chips Goal 3+. When I use xbootmgr -trace shutdown -noPrepReboot -traceFlags BASE+CSWITCH+DRIVERS+POWER -resultPath D:\TEMP the result always shows 15 or 16 seconds to shutdown, instead of nearly 4 minutes. Here is the link to the trace: http://cid-a79fe3f6b8b4fd21.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?resid=A79FE3F6B8B4FD21!102 My original upgrade of Windows 7 (from XP SP3) shutdown in approximately 1:10 to 1:40. Any ideas? Thanks again, Buckeye

Xplode - What is it? I just came here from the announcement and everyone seemed so excited, I thought I'd check it out. No "XpPlode is..." anywhere in the forum or on the http://xplode.voidfx.com/modules/news/ website. The FAQ and documentation are mentioned as being in a Wiki, but not available. I downloaded the file, extracted the doc.pdf and was surprised to see that there is still no "XpPlode is..." statement. XPlode may or may not be something in which I'm interested, but how would I know? You may be missing a lot of other folks who aren't as persistent as me (or did I just miss it?)
