Windows 7 Guest takes Long Time to Shut Down
Hi

I was searching the forums but could not find anything concrete regarding this issue.

Specs:
17" MacBook Pro 2.5 (Non Unibody)
6 GB RAM
320 HDD
512 Nvidia 8600

Mac OS 10.6.1
Parallels 4.0 b3848
Guest: Windows 7 Ultimate

When shutting down Windows 7, it takes about 15 minutes to shut down.

I've restarted the Mac OS, launched Windows 7, shut down, still takes 15 minutes.

Launching Windows 7 is fine.

The one thing I did before this happened was that I changed the number of CPUs from 1 to 2 in Parallels configuration. Then I noticed the shut down issue......after shutting down (both cold shut down and proper shutdown (waiting 15 minutes), I reverted back to 1 CPU from 2 CPUs. Launched Win7, then tried shutting down, same 15 minute wait to shut down.

The only installation in Windows 7 was Office 2007......everything was fine after this.

Shutting sown Mac OS is fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
