Re: Vista takes forever to shut down

Same problem here. Just since yesterday, out of the blue, while I have been using this laptop without any problems for two months now. My Vista Home Premium came with the laptop (VAIO N21 E/W).
I honestly have no idea what changed.
At night I just shut it down, the next morning I booted it, shut it down again (I thought), but when I got it out of my bag at thge university, it was still shutting down.

Actually it isn't doing anything then, there is no light blinking. Only the 'hourglass' is turning, nothing else is happening. When forcing it to shut down and booting again, there is also no error that it did not shut down properly. So the only thing it does not seem to do anymore is physically power down.
