Vista Hangs on Logoff

Just started having a new problem with my Vista machine, and it's
slowly driving me mad!

It seems that whenever my computer is on for a long period of time and
I go to log off a standard user account, Vista hangs on either the
"logoff" dialog or on a black screen.

I'm pretty sure I don't have any spyware or viruses, but I have just
recently installed Windows Powershell 1.0 and Spyware Dr. Starter
Edition (Google Pack).

Anyone seen this before?  Anyone have any tips on troubleshooting?

Thanks,

-- Munchie

Are there any beeping sounds? Have you checked the Event Viewer to see if
there are any logged messages relating to hardware failure or error. Also,
are you using an updated device driver with your Video card?

To answer your questions:
- There are no beeping sounds
- I have the latest graphics driver from nVidia

When I checked out Event Viewer, I did find some interesting stuff
though.  For one thing, I was getting tons of errors about "Volume
Shadow Copy" being turned off--and people say this isn't needed!  From
what I can tell, it was keeping me from creating restore points.  The
real meat of the problem must be caused by this though.  I need some
help interpreting:

I believe the Volume Shadow Copy Services is utilized by the Previous
Versions, file versioning feature of Windows Vista which System Restore also
ties into. I would try doing a System Restore to an earlier point in time
before you started experiencing this problem and see if it fixes it.

Try turning VSS back on and see if it fixes the problem.

Hi,

I have same problem ,

::Log Name:      Application::
::Source:        Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service::
[quoted text clipped - 5 lines]
::Description:::
::Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other

Does anyone have a clue how to prevent this happening?
Thanks

Is it possible that one of the services that depends on VSS is still running?
If so, that service would likely "hang" because it couldn't access the
service.  Sorry, but I've got no clue about what services depend on it
(although http://www.blackviper.com might be a place to start).
