Vista - HELP....my Sony Vaio is stuck in "LOGGING OFF" mode.

My Sony Vaio (Windows Vista Home Premium) is stuck in "Logging off" mode. No
matter what I do, Windows keeps resuming where it left off, which is
apparently in Logging Off mode. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!!!!

Hi Jamsaz,
I would try a check disk on the PC. The link below tells you how to do it.

Hi, Jamsaz.

How long have you let it continue "logging off"?

It probably needs to "put away its toys", close all the open applications
and other files, then log off your account. Then it can move on to
"Shutting Down".

Usually logging off takes less than a minute, but sometimes it takes a lot
longer - mine has taken over 20 minutes sometimes. Recently, I've started
closing all applications myself, then giving Vista a few minutes before
clicking Shut Down. Now it usually powers off in less than a minute. ;<)

Are you the only logged-on user? Is your Sony new? The computer probably
is not defective, but if it is, you should be able to get it fixed or
replaced under warranty.

I got the same problem with my Gateway, using Windows Vista Home Premium
too. after 12 hours of "logging off", I finally solved the problem by
removing the battery, without the power cord attached. I guess this
resets everything and I was able to boot again.
