vista shutdown issue

[mrwoggle]

Hello..I have a strangely puzzling issue with Vista Home Prem (32bit) running on a Toshiba Equim.

For some bizarre reason,when I am running it on its battery, when I shut it down, it doesnt seem to turn off, it goes into sleep mode.I cant get the thing to turn off.Its fine whilst on mains power..

This just means the battery drains everytime I use it on battery..

Why is this and wha can I do to fix it?Its puzzling and incredibly annoying..

Any help would be really really grateful

Cheers

Right click on the desktop and select personalize. From there get into your screen saver settings and check the power optioins. What are they set to?

Are you turning it off or are you pressing the power icon in the start menu?

To properly turn it off press your windows key, press the right arrow key three times, then press enter. This is where you turn it off. I have a feeling you are going to the button that looks like a power button (found by pressing the windows key, then the right arrow key once).
