XP PC wont shut down without using power button

I just reinstalled MCE, and for some reason it WONT shut down from windows. I have to do the hard shutdown using the power button - not good. If i try to shut down from windows, it just sits at the "windows is shutting down..." screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
