Tiger will not shutdown

[Splinky]

Since I upgraded to 10.4 and 10.4.1 my computer will not shutdown. Not much else to say. Anyone else have this problem?

Got any USB devices (other than a keyboard/mouse) connected, especially a USB hub?

I just posted it, it is not about USB or firewire...There is nothing running except the Finder, maybe someone has an answer for us?

I have an HP printer hooked up (USB). I also have a extenal firewire drive. That's it.

black_rabbit: the fact that your computer refuses to shutdown and Splinky's computer refuses to shutdown doesn't mean that the cause is the same -- and, in many cases, USB devices are to blame. You could very well have completely different computers running completely different OSs..

I would first try disconnecting all peripherals from the computer (save for the stock keyboard/mouse) and see if that helps. If it does, we can begin to narrow down the culprit device.

If not, are there any recent changes to the computer, like a power outage, or a RAM upgrade, or the computer was accidentally disconnected, or something like that?
