I have an interesting problem that crops up from time to time. When I shutdown the system (start-shutdown-shutdown computer), the computer will hang on a green screen with a yellowish line about 1/3 down the screen spanning the width of the screen. I built the system two weeks ago and the only program installed onto the machine is Simply Accounting ver 7.0 System particulars are: Win98 SE Intel Celeron 400Mhz 1st Mainboard ATX MoBo S3 3D/2X Video Card Yamaha XG Sound Card Smartlink V.90 56K Modem Standard PS/2 keyboard & mouse There are no other programs running at shutdown and I have Antivirus detect turned off in the BIOS. I'm wondering if perhaps there may be a corrupt sound file (the microsoft sound), or maybe the problem could be with the video adapter itself? any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jim. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering the NOSPIN File Download CD...
