Hi Guys.
I have a Sony Vaio PCG-4T1M with Windows XP Home on it. Its a net book. This is a really strange one. All of a sudden since yesterday the computer will not shutdown or restart. It will only go into Hibernate. I have checked power options and nothing has changed. It did work fine and now doesn't. I don't have any Viruses etc. I work in I.T so i would of checked the main things already, i was just wondering if anyone has heard of this etc? I get no errors, or problems. I just click Start-->Shutdown (nothing happens) if i go to Start-->Restart (nothing happens) however if i Hibernate that works. Which i obviously can't do all the time Thanks |

this has now been sorted.. so thread can be closed (i don't know if i can do it).. basically there was some software on the laptop (mouse drivers) that was issuing a shutdown command at exactly the same time another program was, therefore the computer couldn't shut down, so it hung. I removed the mouse drivers and hay presto.. it worked
