Try this:

Start RegEdit and search for "Advanced Power Management" (no quotes).

Look for a key named "ConfigFlags".

If the value is "04 00 00" change it to "00 00 00".

Reboot and test.

Enjoy,

you can try using the microsoft shutdown patch for 98, microsoft does recognize that this problem does occur and u can download this patch that will "Supposedly Work" have mixed feelings, some machines it will work for some it wont, dealt with this problem many times over this past summer working on a school network with 98 on most machines, try the patch and good luck....

Windows 98 is notorious for this problem, especially on networks. try going to start, windows update to see if applying a patch will fix this problem. if not, you can create a shortcut on your desktop that works like a charm. simply right click on ablank area on your desktop, choose new, shortcut then for the path type the following exactly how it appears with the space....

c:\windows\rundll.exe user,exitwindows

name this shortcut whatever you like (shutdown) and double click on it when you want to shut down your computer. good luck.
