Anybody experiencing problems at shutdown?
Greetings.
I am having shutdown problems more than I care for on Windows 98. It either locks up with the "shutdown display" or it locks up with a blank screen. Sometimes when I shutdown I get the "blue screen of death" - Windows error screens with run-time errors during shutdown (though this happens less frequently - thankfully). At all times that I get a shutdown error, when I reboot, Windows runs the disk repair software automatically. Also, I have to force a power-off by holding my on/off switch on my computer. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a known cause/cure? I keep my system pretty clean, so I'm not aware of any viruses or spyware that my software can detect. I have a pentium 4 system (500 Mhz) with 256M of memory. No problems operating, although at start-up (when I first power up) the system hangs for a few seconds. After that all works well. Thanks for the assistance and for reading. Manny -- Windows98 User |

If you can't fix it, "reboot" rather than "shutdown"; then, when it starts the POST, hold in the power off button. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

I think I will leave it there until you reply as I have your problem and I live with it by shutting down after I have built up sufficient resources to enable me to do so, but there is quite a little story attached to the procedure. |

Thanks for the assistance and for reading. Manny Manny, Try these: Startup and Shutdown Problems http://home.ptd.net/~bwatt/#Computer Try # 2 or #3 depending on your version of Win98. Also turn off any exit sounds, the wav file may be corrupt. Try right clicking the icons in the systray next to the clock and closing them one at a time just before shutting down or restarting to find the culprit. Start Run and enter Msconfig. Under Startup you can stop programs from starting. They are not deleted when you uncheck them, you can check them again.

My optical mouse tends to gum up the shutdown process. I have to reboot then go
to Command Mode and shutdown from there about 80% of the time. IE6 also hangs the computer when closing the final browser window out for up to 2 minutes; I blame eTrust AV for that. |

Thanks for the assistance and for reading. Manny I used to have random shutdown problems until I turned off video caching in the BIOS setup. I also ensure that all applications have terminated (Ctrl-Alt-Del) before shutting down. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
