hi,

what kind of laptops do you use??
we had the same problems with compaq laptops and computers. there is a small software from compaq called "power management extensions". this software corrects these problems.

I'll second the motion on the Compaq laptop issue. I have also had this problem. Also, did you install SP6, or SP6a. SP6a is the latest release, and corrects some issues with 6.

On desktop computers this problem is in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\PowerDownAfterShutdown=1. Also you must replace de hall.dll(rename as hall.old) with the hall.dll.softex (rename as hall.dll)from SP4. This changes also depends by the source of the laptop and don't have efect at first shutdown after changes. Maybe this help you.
