for those with SHUT DOWN PROBLEMS

I have a Dell Inspirion 1521 and my offending program was DLG.exe (some kind
of Digital Line util) shipped from Dell. I also turned off sleep mode and
everything seems fine now. The USB suggestion had no effect either way.

A diagnostic startup showed the shut down problem with my PC (Vista Ultimate,
32 bit) to be with the WLAN service, specifically, two internet connections
going at the same time (LAN and a wireless access point). Problem stopped
when I shut down the wireless automatic connect.
