XP Shutdown

Hi. My dads been lookin over my shoulder and wants to know if anyone can help him - When he shuts down his PC (WinXP) It freezes on the XP saving settings/shutting down screen, and no HDD activity. He then has to manually shut down - Power button.

Does anyone know why and a solution please?
