With Microsoft Windows XP system with McAfee Internet Security/McAfee VirusScan Plus preinstalled, go though out of box setup, try to restart or shutdown system from start menu, does not work. User has to cold boot the system, and after that, the problem will not occur again.

The above symptom is associated with, but not limited to, the following systems:

• ThinkCentre M90z
• ThinkPad T410, T410i, L412, L420, L421, L512, L520

Applies to:

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
  

The hang is due to a wait on the loader lock. This problem in Shimeng.dll was fixed in the below KB. Though the date of the binary on the system is latest than the below KB, the version is lower.
