Thanks guys, yeah obviously wait for it to shutdown would work - or disabling
sleep altogether. But I guess what I'm really hoping for is a change to the
OS, if it's shutting down don't let anything interrupt it (e.g. a sleep
command), but if not shutting down, then let a sleep command go ahead. My
old laptop with XP was able to do this (I would shutdown and immediately
close the laptop & it would continue shutting down fully). Could it be put
in as a suggestion for SP1 or something?

From what I know it's not a hardware issue, or am I wrong?

Thanks.
