I am running a Windows 98SE. Two weeks ago I could not shut down the computer. It keeps reinitiating everytime I use the shut down future. I have to do it manually by switching off the power Surger.

There are a couple of shutdown supplements that you can download and install from Microsoft.

There is a very good shut down trouble-shooting guide posted at www.aumha.org

If nothing else, see if there is a newer video driver available.

This problem has been around for a while.
Microsoft has the "update" (Bug Fix) posted on their downloads for Win98SE.
Since you have not downloaded the updates to Win98SE, I would recommend that while you are at the Microsoft website downloading the "Shutdown Supplememt" update, that you download all of the updates.
The reason is that: Microsoft is discontinuing support for Win98. (in June 2003 ? )

Have you recently installed Norton Anti-virus? If you did, and have it set to scan the floppy disk before shutdown, that could be your problem. Good luck!
