"Shut Down" doesn't work, hangs
Dell Inspiron 1501, running Vista Ultimate, will not 'Shut Down'... It will
hang for hours (logging off) and you have to force it down with the Power Button, which can cause problems. Additionally, you can not use the 'Restart'. If you use the 'System Restore' for anything, it has been 'eventually' restarting, but taking longer than normal. Even with that process, today it couldn't "Restart" during a System Restore, but came up with a Safety Screen saying Windows was unable to Start. Eventually got out of that loop, but can anyone help? Searched in a lot of forums and seems that this is a wide-spread problem on many computers, especially using Vista. Many people said that they are just continuing to force the Power Down, even with new computers... Contacted Dell and diagnosis didn't come up with anything... but they are suggesting changing the Motherboard, that will correct this problem? BTW: The Power Button settings are correct - Set to 'Shut Down'... Does anyone have a solution to this? To me, seems that it might be Software related? Or should I go ahead with the Motherboard replacement?
