Shutdown

[shagphil]

I recently upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Home Premium. When
I shutdown the computer it appears to shutdown properly. However, when I
turn it on again I get the message that the shutdown was unexpected an to
start in safe mote, etc or start normally. This happens everytime the
computer is shutdown, even when it installed new updates and "restarted" on
its own.

Hi shagphil,

I recently upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista Home Premium.

Not possible, that is not a valid upgrade path. You had to have done a clean
installation or upgraded from XP Home.

Have you installed updated motherboard drivers designed for Vista on your
system? Is all the hardware listed as Vista compatible? Checked for a
motherboard BIOS update?

Maybe the OP meant MCE2005 which is based on XP Pro.

Rick,

I mispoke, I upgraded from Windows Media Center. I used the Vista upgrade
advisor which told me I should upgrade to Vista Home Premium. The actual
upgrade when great and the program works fine, its just the thing that when
it shuts down, it boots back up as though you had just pulled the plug on the
computer. However, when shutting down, it doesn't give any error.

Will check my BIOS, think I do have the latest upgrade, but will double check.
Thanks
