I have a 200 Mh Pentium MMX clone PC with Windows 95 4.00.950 C (spanish languaje version) and got the following problem:
When I am going to power off I select "apagar" (power off) it displays "espere mientras se cierra el sistema" (wait until the system is closing) and remains in that condition blocked. Then I must turn the power off switch. When I power on again it always scans the hard drive.
What can I do to fix this bug ? appreciate some assistance.

You have a few urls to look thru, so instead I have a couple other options for you as well.
Use CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the active processes box. End all programs except explorer and then try to shut down. If you get your shut down complete then you know one of those programs causes the system hault. Now you may still need them but at least you have a way to narrow them down and sometimes after one good shut down the system works ok for a while again. Thats a good time to do a thorough scandisk and defrag, clean up temp files. erase *.tmp files from the harddisk, etc... download adaware from lavasoft.de to clean up internet spyware programs and clean up registry keys. and you may just be alright again. Good luck!

The failure appears even if I have all programs closed; as a matter of a fact I always close all programs before trying to power off the system.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I reviewed the Microsoft knowledge base and after taking some of the actions in there I got to the actual situation: If I close the network session before download the system it works OK. ("START" and then "CLOSE THE SESSION". But if I stay in the LAN and try to download the system I got the same result as before. It seems that the problem has something to do with disconnecting from the network. I appreciate some help.
Best regards: Y. Solano.
