Really need more info, ie. hardware etc. You can try to fiddle with the power management, I have seen alot of similar problems linked to power management settings and/or power management drivers in Win98se.

Try reverting to VGA display adapter and reinstall the driver.

Try to install Intel piix bridge fix.

was it like this from the start, or is it something new ?

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\control\Shutdown\Fas tReboot
and change the value to either "0" or "1"

ok went to regedit
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\SHUTDOWN\fas treboot
but shutdown is not there help
this is a dual boot computer with win2k and 98se if that makes a diff.

Open Device Manager
Under System Devices, double click on Plug n Play BIOS.
Under settings tick disable NVRAM updates.
Restart the computer (it may hang on Windows is shutting down)
After restarting, try shutting down again and it should work.

thanks but win98 still does not want to shut down guess i'll wipe out 98 and install me (yuck) any tips on how to do this on a dual boot computer will be nice thank you

sorry the Key name is
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\control\Shutdown\

the string is
FastReboot

if you don't have it - create it and change it's value to "0"
