Vista not shutting down or restarting

I am having a problem shutting down or restarting my machine.

I run Vista Ultimate (upgraded from XP Home) on a Compaq machine, Sempron
3100+ processor, 1.5 GB memory, nVidia 7300 LE graphics card (128MB onboard
memory).

After I do Windows Update, I cannot shut down my system. It gets to the
"Shutting down" screen, then the wheel stops spinning, and the system
freezes. I orginally thought this was an issue with the nVidia graphics card
driver, but this doesn't appear to be the case. System Restore to back
before I did Windows Update did the trick, however. I then installed JUST
the Ultimate Extras (Not the other optional update to Vista - KB929735). The
system is still shutting down normally. This makes me suspicious of that
update.

Has anyone else had issues with that update?

I too am having the same issue. I upgraded from WinXP Pro to Vista Home
Premium and have been "Faithfully" updating my system when windows prompts me
to. However, I have found that when I install optional update to Vista -
KB929735 my system will shutdown and restart but I get a Corrupt registry
error and I need to restore the system back to before I installed that
Update. Even the Startup repair function wont work first time and it takes a
couple of goes to get the system to start properly.
I hope there is a fix soon!
Cheers
