WIN98 Shutdown problem

Does it hang on the Please Wait... Screen, or does it go back to the Windows Desktop. If it goes back to the desktop, you probably have a program that is running in the background and it is not shutting down properly. I would suggest hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL and taking a look at what is on your Task List before shutting down. The way to find out what is causing the problem is to end task on things one at a time until you find out which one was causing the problem. If you are hanging at the Please Wait... screen, then you can usually just shut the system down. This happens on Many computers and there is no easy way to find out what is causing that problem. Hope this helps you.

Another way to ShutDown Windows

Make a shortcut at Desktop and input the command line
" C:\WINDOWS\Rundll32.exe user,ShutDown "

Click the short and it will end your Windows in a flash.

to go windowsupdate.microsoft.com to update so the OS. there is so updates for shut down problems.

I agree with the first asswer. If this problam comes every tiee. then u should copy a file from other same opreting system the file name is "run.dll" It's location is
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM COPY IT FROM HERE & PAST IT ON THE SAME LOCATION. After it shut down the system.

I agree with answer 3, goto Microsofts page and install the updates. As well goto the manufactures web page and look for any BIOS updates offered for your model of PC. This should fix the shutdown problem.

Try this
go to START..RUN TYPE MSCONFIG you will open system configaration utility ...in the general tap go to the Advanced botten and check or uncheck Disable fast Shutdown..
then go to starup tap and unckeck boxes that are not needed when bootup..just leave TaskMonitor..Scanreistry..Loadpowerprofile..

good louck

this is a problem with win 98 se. It freezes on the Splash screen windows is shutting down. There are 2 updates available on Microsoft Update sight. Also you might want to look at your Virusscanner configuration. Make sure that it is set to not to scan floppy drives on shut down. There is a knowledgebase article about this on Microsoft website.

Go to Microsoft web site and download a pctch called (4756us8) that should help to solve your shutdown problems.

In addition to Microsoft's updates and BIOS updates, check your drivers. Microsoft's KB suggests disabling devices one at a time and rebooting each time to see if the drivers for a particular device are causing the problems by not unloading properly.

at first check windows directory to find rundll.exe and if rundll32.exe are exists there then just creat a icon in desktop click your right mouse button in anywhere in desktop choose shourtcut.then in commandline just writedown that following line. c:\windows\rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows.
i think it will help you o manage these problem .if not i have no even more idea.

it's hard disk problem at first scan your hard disk and defragment it and creat a shourtcut which i have told in answer 11.i sure it will help u.when you are using very big file from your disk then it will be appeared.as listning clip from hard disk.show movie from disk

You are not the only one with this problem this is a known problem in windows 98.
Go to Microsofts web site and search for shutdown and follow the instructions.
If you still didnt solve the problem than I think the only way whould be to update to WINME or WIN2K.

Have you tried running the DrWatson utility and following the steps to see where the shutdown halts?
