When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of
shutting down:

Have you customized your shutdown screens?

Are you *sure* you have done this, and that the setting was applied? =
Click StartRun, type MSCONFIG and click OK.
On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
Click to put a check mark in the box for "Disable fast shutdown", and click OK.
Click OK to close Msconfig, and restart the computer.

It just restarts in normal mode, just like when I try to
shutdown. No matter what I do, it just restarts Windows.
It is a pain in the butt.

What happens exactly, when you try to restart in MS-DOS
Mode?

I guess I will have to try some of these. I did try the
sound one and it did not help. I have also found out
that
I can not even restart my computer in MS-DOS mode. So, I
really don't know what the problem is.

Not sure why you are assuming that, because one of the
common symptoms of enabling
"Fast Shutdown" in msconfig is that the computer will
restart when you try to shut
down. The web pages deal with shutdown troubles,
whether
it be hanging, restarting,
fatal exceptions, or whatever.

If you have Win98 SE, also click the link on the left
frame of the web page, that
says:

I read through everyone of them and not one of them
addresses the problem of when you go to shut down the
system that it will restart instead of shutting
down. It
mainly talks about shutdown "hanging". I don't have a
problem with it hanging and not going into shutdown.
It
does not hang at all. It just automatically restarts.

The Shutdown Troubleshooter web site has quite a
large
number of procedures to use,
to help determine what may be the issue. If you do
not
try them, there is little I
can do to help diagnose the trouble. How can you
tell
that nothing applies without
going through the procedures?

I tried your suggestion and that did not solve my
problem.
I also looked at the website that you posted and I
can't
really see that any of that applies to this
situation. I
have not a clue as to why it just restarts
everytime
I
click on the shutdown button. It does not make any
sense
that it can go from being normal one day, to all
screwed
up the next. If you or anyone else has another
solution
for me I sure would like to hear about it. Like I
said
before, I really don't like using the power
button to
have
to shut it down, but that is my only choice right
now.
Thanks,
Kemm

If that does not help, or if the box was already
checked
or wasn't there, go he

I can't seem to get my Windows 98 operating
system to
shut
down anymore. Friday night it shut down with no
problems,
then on Saturday night it just wants to restart
when
I
try
shutting it down. I have tried repeatedly to
shut
it
down,
but it will only shut down if I do it manually
and
not
by
selecting the appropriate button. Does anyone
out
there
have a solution for me. I will really hate
having
to
manually shut it down each night. Also, it is
not
good
for
the system either.
Thanks,
Kemm

choose safe mode and shutdown from safe mode. please let
