G'Day I have noticed recently that when I shut down Win98SE that the screen shows the message "It is now safe to turn off your computer." This has only recently started and did not occur previously. I am looking for suggestions to return the system to the full automatic shutdown.

The "auto-shutdown" is a feature that is commonly found with ATX motherboards. If you have recently been playing about inside your PC then you may have disconnected a cable from the case to the motherboard.
Failing that, make sure that any hardwarethat has been added recently is not causing any conflicts that would cause the computer to crash at that point.

Hope this sheds some light
