Mike:
You might try disabling Fast Shutdown. To get there go
START/PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/SYSTEM TOOLS/System Information Utility. When
there, under Tools start System Configuration Utility and click on the
Advanced box under the General tab. That will take you to the Advanced
Troubleshooting Settings. Down the list the is a box you can check to
Disable Fast Shutdown. If it is already checked, I'm lost!
Good Luck,
