"shutdown" turns into "restart" by namsilat
This machine is running Windows 98 SE. I have run into a strange occurrence. If I go into MSDOS mode even once, when I select "shutdown", the machine would then restart instead of shutting down. If I don't enter MSDOS mode, then the machine shuts down accordingly. What's the problem?
