Hi
It happened for me too, when I was using Lavasoft's Ad-watch 3.0 (it came with Ad-aware 6.0) so I usually closed it before shutting down my computer....
Check your running processes in Task Manager and try to find out if something (some process) blocks your shutdown/restart procedure when it is terminated...
Good luck,

yup
that is exactly what it was
Adwatch killed the shutdown, took me a while to figure it out
thanks for the reply!
