I regularly had Windows 98 SE protection fault error at every ALTERNATE boot, requiring me to take a safe boot and then a normal boot. I properly shutdown everytiem, there is no power failure ( I am on a UPS). So I reinstalled win98 SE. Now windows stops at "Windows is now shutting down" screen for ever. I tried MS KB articles, but none of them seems to work.
One thing is sure windows doesn't tell me that it was improperly shutdown & on verifying by Scandisk there are no errors.
Please let me know.
