I am facing a problem in shutting down and restarting my Vista machine.

From the fly-out menu when I click on shutdown OR restart , the system does nothing. But after clicking shutdown if I again click on log off . the system goes for shutdown. So now what I am doing is first click on Shutdown/restart and then click again on logoff.

Any idea why this happens and how to fix this?

Have you checked the event logs, to see if there is anything there? (Type EVENTVWR.MSC is the Run -- or Search --dialog box off the Start Menu and hit the Enter key.) Have you tried the System File Checker? (Type SFC /SCANNOW in the Run or Search dialog box and have your Vista DVD handy for replacement of missing or corrupted system files.)

Finally, as at least a workaround, you might try doing what I do: I have two shortcuts on my desktop for shutting down and restarting. The first has this as the "Target": "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 000", and the second has this: "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /t 000".
