I have a problem during shutdown, about 1/3 of the times the computer just goes to the "windows is shutting down" screen and sits there forever. It never shuts down. I did a trace (let it sit there for a minute or something before shutting it down with the power button) and have attached the result. If i interpret this correctly, the computer believes that it actually shutdown in about 10sec but that isn't correct There is something odd with vsmon.exe but I know this isn't the cause of the problem since that is a process from zonealarm which I installed after this started happening (since I thought my precious firewall might be the cause).... I can't be 100% sure though. summary_shutdown.xml
