Title: Windows 98 Shut Down
Post by: ojas251 on December 28, 2005, 06:16:26 PM

Can anyone tell how to overcome Windows 98 shut down, when you click on run/shut down the computers restarts and will not close down. The only way to shut down is to hold the power button in for 5 seconds.

Has it always been this way? If not what has happened prior to this? Are you free of spyware/adware/virii? Does everything else work OK?
