Windows

Start by running system file checker (SFC) from the run box on the start menu.

Then go to the Add/Remove Programs menu. Select IE and then repair.
If that does not help, either re-install the version of IE that you are running, or install IE 5.5 SP2.

(You can download IE 5.5 from the browser archive at www.evolt.org)

I recommend against installing IE6 on W98 boxes unless the driver for your video card supports DirectX 9.

You will want to get the latest security updates for IE 5.5 from Microsoft.

If you look on Windowsupdate, MS has a shutdown patch under recommended updates for Win98.

Welcome to Windows! There are lots of ways to fix, update or just do what you want.It depends on your O/S and what you have updated on your system. And what you have loaded on your computer. I run Windows 98SE on my internet computer but I also use a software firewall, antivirus. And run a antitrojan and addaware program. I run and update all of these at least once a week. I like windowwasher because it removes alot of trash that I do not need to see. And after it is done I can reboot with no problems.

download the shutdownpatch from the mocisoft site.

this should work
