Hey everyone, I really need some help from you smart people out there 
I'm using Windows 2000 Professional with an AMD 1800+ computer. It's been quite stable for a few months now, but now all of a sudden I started having problems shutting down/restarting my computer. Everything I try to restart, an error message pops up saying:
I don't know what's causing this, it just kind of happened out of nowhere. The problem is, it shows up everytime I try to restart, and everytime I click on the 'OK' button, the computer does not shut down, but continues to pop up the error message until I go insane and hit the reboot button on the tower. I've downloaded all the service packs and OS updates from Windows Update, I don't know what can be going on. It's a problem because when I install a program that requires a reboot, the programs do not install correctly. If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
By the way, here are event logs of the errors:
System Log
Source: Application Popup
Event ID: 26
Description: Application popup: winlog.exe - DLL Initialization Failed : The application failed to initialize because the window station is shutting down.
Application Log - There are 3 processes here that I think are causing the error.
First one, winlog.exe is started:
Source: winlog
Event ID: 0
Description: The FireDaemon process was started.
Then, upon a reboot,
Source: winlog
Event ID: 100
Description: The service failed to shutdown correctly due to subprocess being unable to be killed. Error code: 5.
Also,
Source: winlog
Event ID: 107
Description: Subprocess monitoring failed due to subprocess is no longer active. The subprocess is probably dead. Restarting the process. Error code: 997.
Would appreciate any insight anyone might have.
