when i go to shut down i get svchost.exe application error 0xc0000142. what do i need to do so i can shut my computer down. I can't find the program that is running and has the problem so i can get rid of it.
 
If the error lists the PID (Process ID) then you might be able to narrow down the program/service causing the problem. Open a command prompt (as admin if needed) and type:

tasklist /svc

You should now see all programs/services running in each svchost. Match up the PID to see which svchost is causing problems.
