I have installed windows 95c on 4 diffrent computers. A PII 450, 2 P133's and a p75. on all of these computers when you go to shut down the system it either does not shut down. or takes a long long long time. I went to microsoft and did not getalot of help except that I have tried everything except reinstall the system. If i close down everything that is running and everything in the task menu that does not help any. IT still takes a while to shut down.

Any help please

Try setting a permanent swap file about 2 1/2 times and big as your physical Ram. I lot of times I see systems taking forever because the system is trying to free up the space created by a dynamic swapfile.

Sometimes rebooting in Safe Mode will fix these shut down problems. Start hitting F8 just before the Stating Windows 95 comes up. I have seen this problem quite a few times in clients that are running old DOS Fox Pro programs.

The Problem has been solved. It was the active desktop that comes with IE 4.0. When i uninstalled that everything is fine.
