Vista Won't Shut Down

I've never seen this happen before. I mean, I've seen Windows take a long time to shut down, but mine just won't shut down. I'll go to start, click "Shut Down" and Windows will close everything running like usual and go to that screen where it says "Windows is shutting down." Well, last night, instead of just forcing a power-down, I decided to see if it would shut down or not if left alone for a while, so I left it at that screen, and went to bed. I woke up in the morning and Windows was still at that point, and the circle was still spinning, which means the system hadn't frozen. Also, the num lock button still worked.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm guessing something has Windows going for a loop when closing down processes.

Click on control,alt, and delete at the same time. Copy and paste to forum what is running.
You can also go to the control panal and see what you have for your power option.
