i have reinstalled vista on a new hardrive only installed my network so it would work
shutdown was normal on restart worked fine on shutdow worke fine
now i have installed 19 updates to vista from windows update
now shutdown will not work normal just hangs and waits for a manual shutdown using the reset on computer
my thoughts on this problem is one of the 19 updates is causing this problem
anyone have any ideas Bob

this is normal when installing Updates, it can take a while becuse Windows configures the updates before it shuts down. Like you said it will shut down manualy so just leave it on and see if it shuts down.

I'm with Tony, leave it alone and it will shutdown eventually; it might take a little while though. Once it shutdown, it should go back to shutting down normally. If you still have issues, post back and we'll sure guide you in the right track.

now i have installed 19 updates to vista from windows update

can you check via the look at what updates you have... and insure that all 19 installed... and as mentioned above. with that many DL's and installs, it might take some time for MS to configure all the installs... which might take a lot of time, depending on CPU and amount of Memory installed..
my laptop took enough time it totally ran the battery down.. I then had to plug in the charger unit, wait for about 30 min... then turn on which allowd the installs to complete and config... total time ( estimated to be just over 1 hr.)

During Beta test many times too many upgrades at one time caused a problem and many times you had to (delete several like 4 or 5) then allow the rest to install, reboot and configure then manually check for upgrades..
I have found that I can do as many as 15 with no problems .. over 15 many times one upgrade needs to consolidate and finished before the other upgrade can be done...
Not sure I explained that correctly. but sample. is #17 also effects the way at #6 works... or is a patch for it... so if #6 has not been completed, then #17 will never finish - because it can not find the required file it needs..
Maybe Ant or Crabby and explain better....
(this is also why different times - your upgrades show complete. but it still trys to dl and install the same item...) to fix is remove the corrupt one reboot and then dl and install again. DOH... I hope this helps.

Thanks guys. for understanding and assisting with the WHY ?
