    has anybody else had the problem that when they go start -> shutdown it just hibernates


    since installing it last night i have had to hold down the power button to turn it off (and boot into W7)

    i have quad boot XP,7,8, Ubuntu netbook 10.10

    four different installations on two notebook, never had a problem like this, this happens from beginning?

    Check the Power options in contol panel, and look what say about shutdown button.....

    I had this with 7850, but not with 7955.
    I thought it had something to do with if hybrid hibernate is enabled or not, but I'm not sure.

    You have to disable Hybrid Boot in the Power Optins --> Choose what the power buttons do.

    Well I'm not sure about it, but I thought that it was a bug that caused windows to hibernate instead of shutting down, when hybrid hibernate was enabled in powersettings.
    Probably running "shutdown.exe -s -t 00" manually works OK.

    And something like hybrid boot does not exist as far as I know.

    config screen -> power options -> change plan setings (of selecte plan) -> change advanced power settins -> sleep -> allow hybrid sleep (turn off)

    EDIT: Oh sorry I'm completely wrong!

    But how do you get that?? The power options look just like in win7 here.

    Maybe you answer to yourself....if a file is missing on start up, noone can understand if it mean something to your problem....

    never heard of blu.dll and do not have it in my 7955...only BluetoothApis.dll
