Improper Windows Shutdown

[Compequip]

Hey guys I need some help. Since Saturday, basicly the last 3 days, evertime I turn on my computer it says it was improperly shut down. I'm running Vista 64 sp2. It just started, I don't even turn off the power to the tower, just click on start and shut down and it goes thru normal windows shut down like always. But when I turn the power button, it goes to the black screen and say how do I want to start windows. What's going on. The only thing I did Saturday is download 2 optional item from windows. 1 was for my gpu 4800 series and the other for my mouse. Here is a copy

Is there something I can run that will help diagnose the problem? I've used this computer for the past 2 years, no issues. I don't want to do a new install and transfer all my files.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If this happened only after you did the updates then I would uninstall the updates via add/remove programs and see if that fixes the issue.

That's what I was going to do, but I didn't know if it was something else. Here is the latest. I did a complete shut down lat night. I turn on the computer today and know issues???? WT? I'll see if it happens again or not. I'm not understanding software these days......
