Question about shut down.

[Mr. RicharD]

I have 10.6.7 loaded with SL and was curious. My comp rarely ever shuts down after I click on shut down. I've let it sit for 5mins before, but I just end up holding down the power button. Is there any way to fix this so it will quickly shut down when I prompt it to?

I realize this is a bump, but does anyone have a good answer to this problem?
