Hi,
I have checked and sending an ACPI shutdwon through the VB menu works, the VM shuts down properly. I guess I'll just do that from now on.
cheers,

My suggestion was not to see if it worked and then to do this from now on. Now that you know this works you should post a ticket at bugtracker so the DEVs can see what needs to be done. They fixed this years ago for XP but I don't think they ever delt with XP 64-bit. Be sure to send the guests log file after an aborted shut down and explaine in detail what you have noticed.
