I have a Fujitsu Siemens Scenic400 with a usb keyboard. Win98se is locking up on shutdown. I've tried enabling fast shutdown and changing the fastreboot key to 0 with no effect. Running the win98 shutdown patch and the mapped drives (as it is on a network) patch with no success. I had to enable legacy usb support to get into safe mode and it shuts down fine from safe mode. With legacy usb support enabled, the system locks on the win98 splash screen when trying to get back to normal mode. Disabling legacy support lets me back into windows again. Turning off all background programs and deleting run lines from registry has no effect. Is it possible that the win98 usb drivers are causing a conflict when windows is trying to shutdown hence causing it to lock up?

I have heard about this problem before. you have probably root caused the problem to the USB kbd already. If so you might want to try this patch filename 7508097.exe. This file is located on the Gateway Web site. Remember this patch has been made for OEM hardware, but its worth giving it a shot.
Good luck
