It really is a problem that is fixable if you just take the time to do a careful and planned step by step debug of your system.

I've just checked my Win98 gold first edition and fast shutdown is indeed unticked by default relatively new install. I've never ever had this problem with win98FE RE: Win 98 Second Edition shutdown problem This is a simple solution that works for me, when all else fails: hold down your shift key before and during shutdown.
To start it a have to jump the pins 14 and 15 of motherboard so it can start. I can put my PC in suspend mode. What can i do to solve all this problems? Do i have a motherboard problem, or is it a software problem?
You can even force shutdown if you get a fussy application that refuses to let go unless manually closed. It can run as a service so even when users log off, it still keeps on running. Better yet, it's freeware to private users but still cheap for corporate use.
I had the same problem with a generic PC and it started doing it again after I patched it so it's not a vendor issue. I also never had a LAN at the time so it's not drive mapping either. Patching it again didn't solve it but Windows does not overwrite a newer DLL with an older one when patching. My Idea of an OS is one that operates the system not a self contained package of every piece of software ever invented. I made it my boot drive and it's never failed me after 2 years of extremely heavy use.
I do put a lot of pressure on my disks which may account for the 3 deaths but the one some of you are putting down seems to keep on chugging along no matter what. It may be the reason you are experiencing the problems.
RE: Win 98 Second Edition shutdown problem Like most people we had this 98se shutdown problem on many but not all machines in our organisation. Tried all the patches, fixes etc. We finally managed to find a fix which worked for all affected machines and it is one I have not seen anywhere else on this thread so I thought I would post it. We eventually found that setting this value to worked for all pc's although this may vary from host to host, some need a longer wait time than others to shutdown cleanly.
I just solved the problem after using all the suggestions here and from other sites it ended up being my ethernet card i had to go to the device manager and disable it in the hardware profile. I will return. Iechyd da! John Glannau Mersi, Lloegr. It was a home network so junking NT Server was no big deal. I can exit teletext before the TV without locking the system immediately some of the time but the Win 98 re-boot instead of switch-off is still there. I downloaded SP1.
My bootlog showed everything ending ok, which still puzzles me. I managed to get round the problem by plugging the adapter into the onboard USB1. In my case it looks as though the hang is somehow related to my USB2 card - but I haven't worked out why yet. I discovered my solution while I was trying to rule out various components, I wasn't expecting this to fix things, my first choice was going to be to look at conflicts with my video card or sound card.

Hello, As you may or may not know, Win98 Second edition has a shutdown problem in which the "windows is shutting down" screen just freezes when you attempt to shut down your PC.
I have gone unto the microsoft web site to investigate. It is a documented problem which Microsoft suggests that we follow a bunch of detailed steps to troubleshoot our software and our hardware. They then suggest that if all else fails, to apply a patch that they provided.
I did apply the patch to each PC on my network. They seem to work fine for a little while, but the computers seem to regress back to the point where they can no longer shut down again. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I cant say I am a Compaq Prosignia fan or a compaq fan period. It should not really matter not that much, at least which computer company the workstations are from, since they all use parts by other manufacturer.
Hi, I had a similar problem as Windows 98 would not shut and the computer was restarting , so that the only way to close the computer was by using "the brute force of a power switch". This is really upsetting. I'm having the same problem with our computers.
From hearing everyone's testimonies, this does not seem to be hardware-specific, as Microsoft would like to imply. You repeated the content of my second reply to this thread which, mysteriously, seems to be missing from the forum. My problem is just a little different; after a crash and re-install upgrade version of 98SE , my APM options are all grayed out.
Hello I've also seen this problems quite a lot. Ive had the same problem. Not sure if it is all MS I've haved the same problem from time to time. I have been working on this problem since 98SE came out. Perhaps you have too many programs running in the background? Microsoft finally released another update with regards to this issue. I have had exactly the same problem with all of our brand new PC's over a Netware Network.
Oddly I have not encountered this problem with 98SE although the majoroty of my network clients are running Workstation. Thanks to DXD this latest update from microsoft seams to work, but I first had to load the other two updates, shutdown and user. I have found no updates from MS that actually work.
I guess I spoke to soon. Considering this long thread and the many, many, many other threads in various forums throughout the net I had the same problem on an HP Pavilion.
Are you sure nt doesn't support NT4. NT4 does not natively support most of the goodies The Microsoft Techs who put on seminars locally repeatedly said that W2K Pro was not a reasonable choice for really small operations. W2k is basically just WNT5. Windows Mill. Well, I thought I had solved my crash and shutdown problems by going to straight win98, but the price is too high.
I've seen the shutdown problem many times with Win98SE and have tried many things to combat it including the patch which only works part of the time. I had this problem as well. Usaualy it is a driver problem. I'm seeing something VERY strange here.
I suggest that you follow the steps listed below to prevent your system from lockups : Please note that having higher system resources at bootup directly increases your system performance, especially while Multitasking activities are performed simultaneously. Finally there is a fix on the MS update site that works. I dont wish to rain on anybodies grissles, but the network I have been looking after for quite some time now is working quite well after I made some changes and added both patches.
Hi all, I had tried all of the suggestions in this forum without any luck, but for a slightly different problem. I recently had the FunLove, or maybe it's FreeLove, virus on my comp, either way it's a trojan that infects all exe files. When I worked for Gateway, we were getting the same problem with Windows 98SE with the shutdown issue. I came across this twice and it was application oriented, for example once it was Simply accounting. Funny you should mention bwb52 about Norton AV Guess what I have windows me and have the same shut down problem Jeff tsr in a lonley cold place.
MarkusBrutus - vsecomr. I too had the same problem with 98se running on my Acer extensa Have a Dell laptop that will not shutdown, using any process, any ideas?
I've got Windows me running on my computer here in Seoul Korea. I've experienced same problems in several different hardware configurations.
Get this, I installed a new hard drive of 20 gigs and Now the CD player that came with the system won't work at all. There is a shutdown problem with SE, which is something to do with mapped network drives. In most cases with Windows 98 not shutting down is related to mapped drive letters. Check the Compaq website for a power management patch. Just an update on my network status as regards to the 98 SE Shutdown This issue for me is driver specific.
In most cases a combination of the previous patches will work, notice "most" not all. Thanks everbody. Hello all, First, thank you for all the helpful info. Thank you, Onegurl. Well, I'll put my two pence worth in I work for a Computer Repair company and we built a 1 Ghz system. We had this same problem. I have the same problem since I installed a network card on my computer. After clicking on your link below and saw only one word: "Sound" My problem started right after I changed some of the sounds start-up, error-sounds, closing-sounds, etc.
I thought the problem was over when we found out that the Power Saving feature and the netcard was using the same IRQ. Problem can come from lots of sources. Guy if you have any problem for shuting down. Check this link out. I have read up and fixed many computers that have experienced this particular problem. I just reloaded Win98se and found it not shutting down also. I had this same problem, and all I did was change my pci slot setup.
I had a similar problem - could not physically shut down, unless I pulled the plug. You can set your system to the way it was before. Had the Shutdown problem with Win98SE as well. There is another possibility no one seems to have addressed. I have also found the MS patch has worked well. Nothing wrong with Win 98se. I tried a lot of the fixes mentioned in this thread but nothing worked. The shutdown problem related to anti virus software can be fixed by just disabling the scan on shutdown option.
I find that the easy cheat is to leave the sutdown as "re-start in MSDOS" This way you at least shut down Win98 cleanly, so that a power-down dosen't hurt. Win98 Shutdown problems can be caused by a variety of different reasons.
Microsoft has encroached on vendor hardware for this problem. After many months of following this forum, I have finally found the answer for my shutdown problem.
We have found a workaround for the shutdown problem please excuse me if this has already been posted, I am new to this forum. Just an additional info. I too have several pcs that freeze during shut down. I think Microsoft should take responsibity for their problem. This problem has been causing me headaches for months with no permanent fix yet found.
As I'm sure most of you are aware, there are two patches available from microsoft that are "supposed" to address these problems. Windows 98 not shutting down - problem. I have been working on this darn problem on my computer too. I didn't read every reply, but here are a couple of things that I have found in my experiences. The other thing is if your running anti-virus software, uncheck the option to scan floppys on shutdown.
I did a clean Install of Windows 98 SE and the problem was gone for about 3 months! I just remembered something I read in here! I like 98 but the shutdown prob is 1 of a couple things wrong its not as bad as ME XP havent used it but heard lottsa bad stuff 95 not alot of stuff that 98 has but is pretty stable so I guess ill stick with 98 for a while Joshs Oakwind Nashville, TN "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" - Martin Luther King, JR.
I installed win98 se on a machine that was running win95 before. I have encountered this shutdown problem. One detail I forgot to mention above. Jim Smith. I need the driver for a Compaq notebook For all you having the shutdown problem I think the shutdown problem is definitely in the operating system software. Hi, How many shutdown patches you've installed onto your pc? As listed above you can create a shortcut on your desk top to shut down windows.
Have tried recommended shutdown shortcuts. Windows 98 not shutting down properly Discussions about using Windows guests in VirtualBox. Windows 98 not shutting down properly by daltonv » Sun Feb 08, pm Whenever I try to shut down windows 98 on VirtualBox, it never completely shuts down.
I will click on the start menu, and select shut down, but it gets stuck on the "Microsoft Windows 98 Windows is shutting down" screen. I've left it like this for a long time and it just doesn't do anything, and there is no disk activity. But this Win98SE problem will disappear and return without the user doing anything out of the ordinary. It may be software related Believing this problem to be software related, I left messages at several of the forum technical databases I belong to.
However, I did receive one unique message from a guy who suggested renaming WIN. He said this worked for him on several PCs for which he was responsible. I gave this a try, but unfortunately, it did not solve my problems. Could MS Word be the culprit? I derived this idea from a message I received from a technical forum I subscribe to.
I was pleased as punch to find out that my test PC did not lock up after 40 startups and shutdowns. I then expanded my test base by removing these applets from all 12 of our training room PCs.
