Morning all, from southwestern Virginia where right now, (11:25 a.m. Mon Oct 24), it is gray, cold and dreary. Among my many computers, is an oldie but goodie. It's an AMD 800mHz with 256MB memory and a 20GB hard drive. Running Win98SE version 4.10.2222 A

About two weeks ago, I installed a new USB card to upgrade to 2.0, then a LinkSys wireless USB device. They installed a new L.O.S. tower nearby and I gladly entered the real web world running at T1 speeds.

Now I have a minor but annoying problem: At end of day, when I shut down, the computer gets as far as the standard Windows logo in the cloudy blue sky, where it says "Windows is shutting down..." and it doesn't. I have to manually hit reset or power off.

When I shut down after only brief period of work, it shut's down properly.

Latest updates installed from Microsoft, Running ProlandPlus virus checker - no problems detected. Defrag regulary, etc. And start-up shows no indications of a previous bad shutdown.

My memory, (human-type), vaguely recalls a problem like this several years ago, caused by an old driver that needed replaced, but I can't remember details.

Anyone got any ideas??

Thanks,

John
