Hangs During Shutdown

Scott · Jan 22, 2008

What should I try when Win98 SE shuts down to the "Windows Is Shutting
down" logo screen and just sits there? I end up turning off the computer
manually.

Thanks!
Scott

Fast Shutdown. 98 SE has a shutdown timing problem and that usually
fixes it. There is also a Shutdown supplement for SE but there have
been problems reported on some systems with it. If Disable Fast
Shutdown is ghosted then you already have the supplement.

If not see these:
Startup and Shutdown Problems
http://home.ptd.net/~bwatt/#Computer

Try #2 and # 6.

I had this problem a few years ago and the solution for me was to make a
desktop shortcut. I have not had a shutdown problem since. This is the
article I used as a reference for making the shortcut.

Hi,

I used those for awhile, both shutdown and restart. As I recall
using them does not rebuild the ShelliconCache if it's needed, so I
discontinued using them.

I've always thought of the commands as useful in special situations, but not
good for normal use. Probably from long ago discussions in this very group,
eh Bill?

Gary, that's right, in this very group, long ago. -)
That's when I stopped using them.
I kinda miss the old days.

I'd say, "Me, too!", but my brain isn't up to it these days.
