Since you can do a normal shutdown by disabling the Linksys card or changing the video display and Linksys has already tried helping I'd try that driver update first. This looks like the ticket. The site suggests the non-WHQL driver. nvidia.com Here's a link with several steps you might want to look at. ccs.org You also might check at your computer manufacturer's site for the recommended driver. They may have the driver that has been tested and proven to work with your system and should support it. Edit in: Just found this. It sounds like it's right down your alley. aumha.org "Among video cards implicated in the shutdown issue, the name that is floating to the top most often is Nvidia. On the video issue, Bill Halvorsen documented that the latest “Detonator” drivers for his GEforce video card caused a shutdown problem — solved by returning to an earlier driver version. He advises staying completely away from the “plain vanilla” drivers on Nvidia’s site. In general, the Nvidia 6.x drivers are getting negative comments from many experienced and technically minded users online. According to MS-MVP Walter Clayton, anyone running NVidia drivers of versions 6.00 through 6.31 needs to upgrade to 6.34 or later. (Last time I checked, NVidia has version 6.50 posted in the driver section at www.nvidia.com.)" tc

dewey, Same thing happened to me except it was a programs called "Etrends" that was causing the conflict. I tried everything, Shutz, Mark's shortcut, etc. and it wasn't until Etrends came up with a new patch that I finally got it rectified. Sounds like it is your Linksys - like someone else just mentioned, you need to download the patch if there is one - if not you can try those other suggestions like Shutz, etc., but they didn't work for me. Good luck.
