Windows XP Shutdown Taking Too Long

Had a user call today because it was taking too long for the shutdown box to appear after going to the start bar and clicking shutdown. Looking in the event viewer I got this event error

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10010
Description:
The server {9B1F122C-2982-4E91-AA8B-E071D54F2A4D} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Apparently some of the DLL’s tied to the shutdown process cause a delay due.

Username Bill Castner over at techsupportforum.com posted this as a resolution which worked for me

I copied the below in to a batch file and it resolved the issue.

———— begin copy/paste below this line
net stop wuauserv
regsvr32 /s wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 /s wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 /s wucltui.dll
regsvr32 /s wups.dll
regsvr32 /s wups2.dll
regsvr32 /s wuweb.dll
regsvr32 /s jscript.dll
regsvr32 /s atl.dll
regsvr32 /s softpub.dll
regsvr32 /s msxml3.dll
net start wuauserv
————– end copy/paste above this line.
