[RESOLVED] Problems with Windows 98 Second Ed.

[sjgarbutt]

I am experiencing a problem with shutting down. When I attempt to turn it off, it appears as though it will but it reverts back to start. In other wordds, I am not able to shut down my computer unless I turn it off manually. (click the buttons)

Please provide some information to assist me with this minor problem.

Did you try disabling fast shutdown?

In Win98 SE, the "disable fast shutdown" is checked by default when you open MSCONFIG and click the advanced button. I did not like that, and it never was a problem before in the standard win98 so I unchecked it and rebooted. Well I thought nothing of it until later on when I decided to shut down. The same symptoms as sjarbutt described, the computer would not shut down. It would restart instead. Of course I checked the box again, and all is well now. Looks like fast shutdown is disabled for a reason in win98 SE lol
