[RESOLVED] Win98-SE Shutdown Problem

[Hardly Woking]

Is there a driver for the shutdown problem for Win98-SE where it hangs at "This machine is shutting down"... I have to turn it off manually, then on the next startup, scandisc runs. I can never get a clean shutdown/restart. This problem doesn't happen on every single shutdown... maybe 50% of the time on my machine... more on some, less on others.

Thanks boys and girls.

Are there any patches available for Windows 98 (not SE) that refuses to shut down every time?

things I've found to be helpful in shutdown problems

1. Msconfig - advance - change the setting of "disable shutdown" (will disappear if you install the ms-patch)

2. reinstall video drivers (especially ATI's)

3. Update BIOS

4. BIOS Power Management settings..
(different settings for different boards)

5. Windows Power Management settings (disabled !)

6. disable USB interface (especially in Intel 815ea Mobo (bios P7 and lower) and 98se - it seems when windows tries to shutdown it looks for USB devices to shutdown as well and if it doesn't find any - it hangs
