I got this Vista shutdown error today...
I came back from a short trip today to find my laptop still running for some reason, even though I clicked on shutdown button before leaving. It looks like you have to babysit Vista while it's trying to shutdown or else it may get confused by the log-off sound and won't shutdown.

Yeah, it seems to do that when you have a longer logoff sound. If the logoff sound takes longer than 5 secs then it does that. It happens to me because my logoff sound is 7 secs. Bit dumb tho...
Better than a mac and xp needed an update. I'm proud to have a vista and I'm proud to be getting a windows 7 machine
