Guest Dragon Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 This seems like a usual problem. My Laptop with windows vista wont shutdown... it just shudowns for 3 sec and then starts again... ive disabled all "allow wake" (or something) in the componentmanager (or what its called in vista)... and still same problem... however if i unplug the AC (power) it shuts down properly on battery... the same happens when goin to sleep, expect that it doesnt help unplugging the AC... im sure this is a vista related problem since the computer works fine with XP...

A number of people posting here have reported this issue myself included - though you are the first i have seen regarding a laptop ..... and the power supply issue may be relevant . I had previously upgraded from XP to Vista and installed over the top and basically, I had an issue same as yours (though on a PC the power supply element wasn't relevant). Due to a problem with my motherboard, I had to rebuild my machine a couple of weeks ago and subsequently reloaded Vista as a clean install. That solved all the problems i was having previously -including those you describe. It could be that the issues were related to XP being written over - or software running that was XP friendly but not Vista friendly ... I have no idea. The old operating system was saved by the clean install of Vista into a folder named something like Windows.old on C - so all the data from my mail / game saves and the like were recoverable - which was nice. On the assumption that your HDD is NTFS formatted and you don't need a format to put a clean install of Vista on your laptop - it could be a method of solving the issues you are having. Worked for me. The system is much much faster and smoother - despite my MoBo being fitted with a slower chip that I was using before. Mick -- Quote
