Windows 7 does not shutdown

Dear All,


I have recently encountered this problem with my Lenovo T410 laptop where the system would not shutdown even when left out over night. I use my laptop for work and the problem was caused due to third party softwares that were installed on my system to access outisde networks.


I tested this couple of times with installing these softwares and restoring the system to previous good configuration. I have searched the web for solutions and found no solutions as this might have been a generic issue. I think this is a problem with the third party software that does not support the Windows 7 OS and hope to hear from the software provides or Microsoft for a hotfix.


During the same process I lost functionality wherein my system would not connect an external hard drive and could not wake/recover from sleep mode. FYI Fn+F4 key is used to wake the system (Lenovo T410) from sleep mode.
