hi, recently got my new notebook. It is running on vista home premium, whenever i want to shut down the com, the screen will flicker a few times and flash to vista background with "Please Wait". Then it goes back to my wallpaper and switch to vista background again, this time is "shutting down". Is that flickering a common issue in vista? And it happens when i restart the com also.

thanks a lot

I think it is normal.

some of my friend's laptops do this as well.

mine dosent, but i guess it just vista closing some applications.
