Default shutdown

When I shut the computer down, the HDD lite stays on and
the computer continues humming, like it is running. What
does HDD stand for? Thanks.

It is HarD Drive. Are you saying that the computer does not shut down? If
so:

MVP Jim Eshelman has general troubleshooting procedures for W95/98/98SE
shutdown problems at http://www.aumha.org/a/shutdown.htm and procedures for
W98SE in particular at http://www.aumha.org/a/shtdwnse.htm
