I have exactly the same problem.
I installed PIcture package on Vista, forcing it through execute as an
administrator.
Now I have blue screen when I shutdown or it never shutdowns.
I uninstall Picture package and installed PMB, as recommended on Sony web
site.
It continues to go to blue screen or n shutdown.
When It restarts, it says the error is coming from picture package that I
uninstalled !!!
No help available on this ?
Thanks in advance.
