I know win98 has shutdown problems but this is rediculus I have a machine in PII-266 64Mb EDO DIMM ( yes EDO DIMM ) 16mb ATI video, sb16, and an connexant winmodem. The Problem was their video card. The computer would only boot occasionally with their card. I substituted a few cards ( junk ones at first, not wanting to loose a good card on bad board) very consistant booting. replaced with another ATI and now that I have the drivers loaded the conputer will not shutdown. I turned off all programs I can see, both in the systray and with Ctrl-Alt-Del and it still does it. First it just said this progam is busy windows can't shut it down but didn't id the prog. After I shut everything down it now says win can't shutdown explorer as it is busy. I did run a virus scan and will update my defs today and try again, but.... Any other ideas?
