O.P. Dodgy  comp wont shut down
hey

this has been happening for to long now so i am posting it, everytime i shutdown my computer it doesnt actually shut down, it freezez on the "windows 98 is shutting down" screen, since there are no programs that could be not responding because once that screen appears, everything in ended, and yet my computer is not being shut down properly because i always have to hit the restart switch and then the shut down switch, so my computer never is shut down properly.
  PLEASE HELP

i don't know much bout 98 but if it happened to me, i'd back EVERYTHING up and then reformat, sure to fix the problem.

i'm not advising you to do that tho

Remformatting is a radical step. It basically whipes the hard-drive clean and then prepares it for a fresh Windows installation. A less radical step that would prob. work the same is repairing Windows.

1) Instert Windows 98 CD
2) Reboot
3) Press F12 to access the boot menu
4) Select "Boot from CD"
5) When it says "Press Any Key to Continue" hit "Enter"
*Wait for installation to load*
6) Go into the "Install Windows" menu and search for "Repair an existing installation of Windows"
*Let CD do its thing*
:P

When i had this problem before the only solution was to format.
Do a virus scan because its was lots of viruses that caused my problem. Although the AV didnt fix it.
