Hi again...Joe was kind enough to send me a link that has to do with Sony Vaio shutdown problems...unfortunately it's regarding their laptop and while it describes a similar problem,mine is a bit different.

But...I thought this note at the bottom of the link rather telling...

" It took many people quite much time to find out, what the problem is and how to solve it.
Sony is totally neglecting this problem and the questions of their costumers.
I told them about the problem and the possible software workaround and all they do is to give my email adress to people calling the Sony helpline (for $20 per call).

So if I could help you with this page, just think about how much money you saved and donate for a charity organisation of your choice.
Thank you!"

Anyway,thanks again,Joe.I appreciate your trying to help.
