shut down problems

by daz'n'ash . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

Can anyone tell me why a computer which had installed Windows 98 SE, seemed to run and funbction quite well, it would start up and shut down as normal. The computer has 128 MB Ram, a 200 MhZ Winchip processor and a 2 GB HDD. Now I know that all that adds up to be quite able to handle having Windows Millennium Edition, but, the problem is this. Once Win Me has been fully installed it operates just fine with no hint of a problem except on shut down. When the shut down option is selected by going to Start| Shut Down, windows will shutdown okay to the pint where it is supposed to display the notice, It is now safe to turn off your computer. This notice does not appear and even after counting 20 seconds or more to shut it down, when the computer is started again it wants to run scan disk due to inproper shut down detected and then once finished booting into windows the active dektop has to be restored. How can this problem be resolved other than perhaps something availale from windows update because the owner of the computer does not have internet access. This is a problem which needs to be resolved quickly.
