Trying to 'enable fast shutdown as recommended in the
article as a 'work around' I do not have the 'fast shutdown' option as instructed. Do you know if there is a specific update I may obtain? I have windows 98SE.

I have windows 98SE. Thanks, I don't see any items on Jim's pages that suggest that you *enable* the fast shutdown option. All that I can find are references to *disabling* fast shutdown as a possible fix. And if you do not have the fast shutdown option listed on the Advanced options of MSCONFIG - General then that means that you already have the "fast shutdown" update from Microsoft installed. With Windows 98 SE you should be looking first at the various suggestions on Jim's specific page for that version of Windows, which you get to by clicking on the "Start Here for SE" link in the left side column at http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
