I just recently reinstalled Win98 on my computer and everything works flawlessly except when I go to shutdown or restart, the Windows shutdown screen appears and my computer hangs.
I've tried reformatting, repositioning PCI devices, updating all of my drivers, doing every windowsupdate.com update and I can't figure out what is going on.
Anyone have any ideas?

Try removing one card at a time until you find which one is stopping the shutdown.

Thanks, I didn't think of trying that.
Is the WIN98 you are trying to load an SE ? It is reported in MS knowledge base that SE has shutdown problems. I had experienced this. MS has a fix called WIN98 SE shutdown supplement. It has a good article & a patch. Do use it. I found my problem solved.
Please note they mention this problem to be hardware dependent.
Do keep posted.
you don't need to post the same problem in more than one forum.... http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin...ML/003126.html
sorry, im really crap at finding the right patches - could you tell me exactly where it is? ie the URL and file name.

You probably have a networkcard installed. This causes the problem. Especially the combination W98/3Com. If you have more than 8 drives mapped in a network you will have the same problem. There are patches for this on the Microsoft site knowledge base. Find the patches 4756*8.exe, 260067*8.exe and 243199*8.exe. The * stands for the different language you might wanna have. In my case DUT. I used them and it did solve the problem. Also in your anti-virus program disable the option Scanning A: at shutdown. This also causes problems often. Good luck.
