    I'm experiencing a screen flash everytime i log off or shut down.

    More detailed:
    When I shut down, my screen flashes and I get the Please Wait Vista Screen. After 1-2 secs, it shows me the Desktop again with all the icons, then the Please wait / Shut down screen comes back and my laptop shuts down.


    1. This is not due to TMM... I have it disabled
    2. I'm using 180.70 x64 nvidia drivers
