shut down freeze

I have a Laptop P4 running Win XP Home
when I plug in my stand alone freecom dvd drive into the
usb2 port every thing works ok till i come to shut down
go to shut down enter windows makes the usual clicks as
though its closing down then freezes. the only way from
then on is to hold down the power button
would appreciate any ideas on this


many thanks bill

Hi

For shutdown/restart problems, have a look at MVP Jim Eshelman's web page:
