Windows didn't shutdown properly

[Josher]

I seem to be getting this message and the prompt to boot into safe mode everytime I startup or reboot. Everything seems to be shutting down normally. This wouldn't be a big deal except for the fact that it seems to be loading an old system restore point whenever it does this. I don't know for sure if these 2 issues are connected. I first started getting the "Windows didn't shutdown properly" prompt after I had to do a reset of my computer during a total lock. I can't say for sure if the system restore point issue began when I first saw this as I don't shutdown my computer very often. Thanks for your help!

I'm assuming this is Windows 7 Home 64bit?.

Have you tried running a start up repair?.

I will try this as soon as I can find a blank CD. Thanks!

The CD didn't find any errors to fix, however the problem seemed to be temporarily fixed after I ran the startup repair. Unfortunately, the problem came back this morning when I booted up.

Problem is still persisting. It's frustrating because it's not consistent. Sometimes the boot up will be fine and sometimes it won't.
