    try this command to restart and see if you're then able to shutdown the normal way.

    click start menu -> run
    type in
    shutdown -s -f -t 00

    I never saw such a message... I have had shutdown problems related to removing my USB hubs from my laptop without using "safely remove hardware" - but else, no...

    I have used CCleaner on a registry too in the past - (gettig rid of Wnamp junk) - while I wouldn't necessarily recommend it on Vista, it hasn't caused any such problems for me (min you, I nowadays look at every entry)
