Lately the instance that I'm having difficulty dealing with is the "shutdown" task..When I try to shutdown Win98, it will close all the programs and prompts me to "Windows 98 Shutting Down" and then it stays that way forever (never go off). ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- - When I experienced this problem, it was caused by WIN98's fast shutdown routine. The first MS KnowledgeBase article below gives instructions on disabling the fast shutdown. If that doesn't work, try the second article. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q187/6/07.asp http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q196/0/08.asp Good Luck :} Jim Curious about the people moderating your messages?
