Shutdown / SLeep problem

When I do shutdown via the start menu, it shows as shutting down and power
does go off. The odd part is (when AC plugged in and battery is 100%) if I
go turn this on 2 hours later or even less (without AC) battery shows about
85% - 91% level. Why does it lose about 10%-15%? This can't be normal.

Also, is it normal that it takes about 10 seconds to get out of standby or
hibernation
(sleep mode) once you press the power button to return to windows? The power
"start menu" option in Vista is set to sleep

Vista RTM Ultimate
SONY VGN-FE-770G

I had already reinstall vista ultimate fresh (not upgrade), problem was
before and is there now as well.

Even Viewer shows these errors as well.

I am having a strange thing occur with my Sony VAIO VGN-A290 using Vista
Ultimate Retail Upgrade.

Last night after installing the app, I turned on disk defragmenter and
walked away. Since Vista puts the computer to sleep after an hour I didn't
realize it.

When I remembered this morning, I started it back up, and then clicked start
shut-down.

My computer stayed at teh "shutting down screen" for over 30 minutes (no
disk activity no nothing). I ended up shutting it off by holding the power
button after this 30 minutes passed.

I was able to start it up and shut it down fine there after.

I'm thinking about disabling alot of the power saving modes, I think there
is a conflict with the sleep/hibernate and the shut-down process. I don't
know the root cause yet but wondering if anyone else has experienced it.
