    My Notebook at times seems to switch onto the Power saver mode when it boots up. The problem that I have noticed when this happens is that one I try to either switch off or restart the system it hangs and I have to force a shutdown by removing all the Power sources. Has anybody experienced something like this? Is there a solution for this weird problem?

    turn RMclock off and change it to 'high performance' profile

    Rmclock seems to override the vista settings, keeping it the same everytime you reboot

    No, just when the Vista profiles wont stick everytime you reboot

    The problems your having are bad, it has happened to me twice before. When i try to shutdown it just completely freezes. A clean install with SP1 seemed to fix it

    I have a gut feeling that the verisoft security software is responsible for this

    Uninstalled Verisoft. I don't use it anyway. Good that the bugging pop up is gone!
