Have you set the environment in batch?
  set COLINUX_CONSOLE_EXIT_ON_DETACH=1

Is the FLTK-console Attached or Detached?

Have you the last lines from the output of colinux-daemon.exe? (after
the power off), for example
  EXT3 FS on cobd0, internal journal
  System halted.
  colinux: Linux VM terminated
  colinux: halted, exiting.

Have you tryed the menu in fltk console: Monitor - Shudown?
The same as you run the command: "shutdown -h now"

Hm. First check the driver status with Windows tools. Open your hardware
manager, enable "see all hidden devices" and say is the coLinux driver
in running mode? If not, try to start it. Stays the "Start type" on
"automatic"? Any errors in the driver properties?
(German howto find coLinux driver in Windows Device Manager:

What is the output of "colinux-daemon --status-driver" in the line
"current state:..." if the driver is not usable?

Sorry, have no Vista running.
