W98SE Shutdown

I have searched and spent quite a bit of time on W98SE not shutting down.
Had one success in that it will now restart w\o hanging up.

Screen stays on the blue windows 98 when shutting down.

Tried the patches
Tried all of Jim Eshelman's steps and other hints.

I have not tried spacing my pci cards as I have more than trying to go every
other slot.

Any other ideas, it sure would be appreciated! I will get this one,
eventually!

Thnaks in advance,

Danny

There is no cure. It's a common problem in 98.

Without knowing a lot more about your configuration, there is little we can suggest
beyond the troubleshooter.

heh I'd probably need to be on your machine.
What is running at startup, what is running when you shut down, what hardware is
installed, what software is installed, what type of Internet connection do you have,
are you on a network.............

Glen, Thanks again. Let me give it a go.

The cpu with the shutdown issue is an Hp Pavillion XL 766. The issue
persisites whether the unit is on wireless, hardwired internet connection via
line or not connected at all. Running MacAfee 8.0, & zone alarm at start up.
Try to keep tings at a minimun using the old Startman program to keep tabs
on what is starting up. Running a agp video card, pci cards for sound, modem
and wireless. I have tried shutting everything prior to shuting down to
problem solve using clt\alt\del, then stopping all unneccsary task.

....but what kind of Internet provider are you using? Broadband (aDSL? Cable?
Satellite?) or dial-up?

Have you already done this? --
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.

sorry glen, I hit return too quick on the first reply!

Some where along the way I m have upgraded or applied a fix, as I do not
have the option to disable fast shut down, so it is disabled per everything I
have come across.

And that success came about how? As Glen mentioned, much more detail is needed
and one to start with is how you achieved the successful boot.
