XP not shutting down

Question

At the moment whenever I do 'shut down' on my computer it either takes ages (and I mean about 30 minutes) or it doesn't do it at all. This is extremely frustrating. I get a few 'program not responding' messages which I always click 'end now' however last night I left my computer shutting down and when I returned 6 hours later it was idle on a screen with my only background showing. Any ideas on what is happening?
