    	    <description><![CDATA[This is all I could find on a quick google search; 

1. I have just installed the release candidate and had the same problems. I found out that a device attached to the pc was the problem i.e. an epson usb printer. While this was switched on the pc would not shutdown, however as soon as it was switched off the pc would shutdown. Maybe you could be having a similar problem. Check to make sure all your connected devices are powered off and then try and shutdown. If this helps then you know that it is device related. If not, it is worth trying. As I said it is what was causing my problem.

2. FOUND my problem.

I had to remove my M-Audio Delta 1010LT soundcard from my system. Actually, just removing the driver (completely) solved the shutdown problem. I have gone back to the onboard audio until I can get updated drivers for 7 from M-Audio. I'll give it a shot then.

3. Here’s the solution!

Click “Start”, on “Computer” click right mouse button and select “Properties”, click “Device Manager”, select “IEEE 1394 Bus Host Controllers” group, only contains one device called “VIA 1394 OHCI Compilant Host COntroller” on that click right mouse button and select “Properties”, select “Power Management” tab, and finally check the “Allow the computer to tur off this device to save power” box!
That’s all folks. After that the computer power down normally every time.

4. turn of firewire IEEE 1394 in BIOS. that worked for me. 

--------------------------------

So... didnt read it all through because I'm working at the moment... but point 3 should work, i did for like 28 guys on that forum, see here: http://www.jamespaulp.us/?p=235 

Hope it helps, otherwise I'll continue searching after finishing some work here.. let me know..]]></description>

This.

In all seriousness though, sounds like drivers buggered up, especially if it didn't happen on an older install of win7.

(For some reason I had to reinstall 7 twice before it would work properly, but after that it's been fine :P)]]></description>
