Vista not shutting down

[Bob]

I just reloaded my system yesterday. I have Vista Ultimate (upgraded from XP
Home). When I did my first round of updates, the computer updated and
restarted fine. Now, when I either shut down or restart Vista, the computer
freezes on Shutting down screen. I am then forced to do a hard shutdown and
restart.


My system is :
Compaq Presario SR1703WM
AMD Sempron 3200+ processor
2GB RAM
160GB WD IDE HDD(main); 160GB Samsung HDD (backup drive)
nVidia GeForce 7600LE graphics card (128MB onboard RAM, I think)
Hauppage WinTV Go+ TV tuner card

The only issue I saw in the error log was one entry that said that one PCI
card had not been assigned an IRQ (I think it said by the BIOS).
