Sounds like a program is causing shutdown to hang.
Check your event logs.
Have it shutdown and while it's hanging/doing nothing take a look at which services are running in task manager. Look for ones that are using large CPU and Memory resources. Try manually ending some of there processes and see if stopping one of them gets the shutdown processes moving again.
Check your event logs.

browse though here....

or
Do a google for "XP wont shut down"
I know it's not an XP machine but Media Edition is based on XP home.
I have ran into this before with someone elses computer, I cant remember what I finally did to fix it. but there are literally hundreds of things that cause it ranging from the use of unsigned device driver to registery errors to bios.
Good luck.
