Hi Ed,

Sounds like you might want to try using the "Power Management
Troubleshooting Tool" (pmtshoot) available from Microsoft.

Some links that refer to this tool are:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/9/49.ASP (Instructions
for using the tool & a link for downloading it.)

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q188/2/46.ASP (Regarding
error messages about a system not going into standby mode.  This could be a
contributing factor to your system not shutting down.)

In addition, you might check your CMOS to see if your power management
settings are enabled.  If they are not, your CMOS might not allow Windows to
shut down.  The trick is to tell CMOS to enable power management but to turn
off
any auto shut downs like Hard Drive spin down and such so that you can
control everything from Power Management within Windows.  If you don't, your
CMOS settings will over-ride anything within Windows.

Good luck,

Brian Burggraff

> How come when I try to shutdown Win98SE on my machine it won't shutdown?
The floppy drive comes on and stays on while the Windows is shutting down
screen comes on and then nothing happens. I've installed the Windows
shutdown upgrade and it didn't have any effect on this problem.
Otherwise--everything else works fine. Need help. Thanks  Ed Bogert
