When I select Start/shutdown/reset my system
goes through the whole shutdown process, but does not restart. I didn't make any changes, it just started happening ( famous last words ). I have to hit the reset button on my tower to get it to restart.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. (running W2K Pro and it was working fine 2 days ago)

It seems you've got one of the most anoying microsoft "features".
Since win95 there was a shutdown problem, where they produced about i don't know how many work arounds and patches.
In windows 98 you might expect that the problem was resolved, buthere you had the same problem.

Usually it occurs when you connect your system to the network, with outlook installed.
One way or another it simply cannot close its network shares anymore and it will wait forever.

You might want to search the www.microsoft.com/technet side, just take shutdown problem as your keywords, and start browsing the articles which best fit your system..
Good luck.

fixed it myself, it seems that it was a software compatibility problem . I still don't know what caused it but uninstalling EasyCD Creator Platinum Pro solved the problem.
