Laptop Slow to Power Off
I have a brand new HP laptop dv7-1007TX with Vista Home Premium. At times
the power and all lights stay on for a couple minutes after shut down then go out. I'm then afraid to move the laptop in case the HDD is still spinning for some reason. Any comments on this?

If you check
event viewer/Custom Views/Shutdown Problems you may find a clue as to what is causing your couple of minutes shutdown delay.(Diagnostics-Performance Source, Event Id 2xx) Michael "jaycee" wrote in message ...

Laptop Slow to Power Off
Thanks, I'll do that and report here if I find a clue.
As for moving a PC/Laptop around while the HDD is spinning, IMHO it's definitely courting HDD damage. My Pioneer HDD DVD Recorder user's manual says wait two minutes before moving it after power off and unplug. I once moved my desk PC slightly (but not gently enough, apparently) to reach behind it and heard a screech with Vista going out. Reboot was OK but with the initial Vista warning black screen. And I've already inadvertently bumped this laptop once while using it. That caused it to go in standby but, fortunately, with no apparent damage. "Michael Walraven" wrote in message ...
