My emachine when you go to shutdown the machine it will always restart. Have already checked for viruses and check to make sure there are no back orifices and there are no errors at shut down. What can be down to get the machine to shut down properly?

Disable Fast Shutdown. You can find this by going to:
Start>Run

type msconfig

On the General tab go to the Advanced button.
Check Disable Fast Shutdown.

Solution one

http://www.aumha.org/a/shutdown.htm

The above site has a lot of suggestions for Win98SE computers with the Shutdown problem. I suggest that you download MS updated patch and try that... but first print and try the suggestions atthe above link.

You might try running msconfig and check selective startup and then go to the last tab and uncheck everything that you do not need to use. These are all programs that load when you first startup your computer and such things as printers will work without the drivers pre-loaded.
