I use XP, and instead of arrowing through selections, I use the letters 
associated with their function to select U for shut down, S for Stand By etc.

  I've found that sometimes when preparing to close the laptop, and arrowing 
among the choices -- Sleep / ShutDown / ReStart -- JAWS occasionally speaks a 
different label than the currently selected choice.
  So, I arrow back and forth a time or two before hitting enter to confirm 
which selection is going to be activated.

  Dave,

  This doesn't answer Brandon's question, as he has just explained, but here's 
something I do when XP won't close down. I assume there's an equivalent 
procedure in Windows 7.

  I'm sure you've seen the message to the effect that if you close a program 
now, you may lose all your data. One choice you're given is to close anyway, 
which you do by pressing alt-e.

  Sometimes when my computer won't shut down, I'm given no indication why. Even 
though the choices aren't shown on the screen, I'll press alt-e. It works 
almost every time.

  I believe Outlook 2003 is the culprit.

  Brandon,

  No idea what to suggest. It may be that there is an application running or a 
process running that does not respond to the normal shutdown command and either 
continues to run or forces a complete shutoff.

  I've cooked my laptop more than once in my backpack when I thought it had 
shut down, but was still running. They get extremely hot if they don't have 
ventilation. I always check now at the air vents to make sure there is nothing 
running before putting into the backpack.

  Now that is weird. It used to happen to me with win XP. I used to it shutdown 
button to turn my computer off and for some weird reason my computer turned 
itself on back again. Never could find a solution though.

  I tried that, but every few times when I'd click hibernate it would restart 
rather than hibernate. Thanks,

  Brandon,

  I recommend you start using standby or hibernate mode before closing the 
cover.

  Hello, I'm not sure what's going on: About 1 out of every 5 times I close my 
laptop it shuts down. I'm not sure if windows is installing an update or what, 
but it gets super super annoying, especially when I have 5 or 6 programs up at 
once and I need to restart them all. And because I'm in school I have to close 
my lap-top at least 5 times a day. This has always happened and I'm not sure 
how to fix it. I changed the option to hibernate when the lid gets shut rather 
than go to sleep, but that only decreased the shutting down from 1 every 3 
times to 1 every 5 times and increased the time I need to wait for my computer 
to start up. I'm not sure if there is something that says it will shut down 
when I close my lid or what? Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you,

  Brandon Keith
