Upon closing down my Win2k desktop, it runs through the usual "Shutting down Windows" routine and then stays on blue screen and it takes a hard reset to start up again. Does anyone have any ideas?

What he saw on his screen is not the blaster warning. Shutdown.exe by default shows a default countown of 10 seconds to allow the user time to stop the process if they so choose.

As an additional note, now that I have run the driver verifier, the computer is slower in working as a result, you can really notice it!

Is there any way I can turn it off to speed the computer back up again? I know the computer can take XP Pro, it came with it!
A1: Reboot to turn it off.
A2: Then do the upgrade. You can always revert if there is a problem.
