Hello Computer World!,
I recently was going through some old stuff and found some left over computer parts. I ended up building a Old computer out of parts i found. Anyways i wish to use this computer as a simple DOS gamer for i still had my original hard drive with classic dos games. Anyways, this computer was all good to go. So i pulled out my copy of Windows 98 SE and installed it. It ran fine, found all my drivers and ran my games. However, the computer being an Pentium 1 166Mhz it still has one of those old power supply's that have the Actual Power plug on it. The power is not controled by the motherboard, there is a physical cord going to the power supply with the power. So naturally the OS should notice this and be able to set itself that when it prepares to power off, it should give me the screen saying.
"Its now safe to turn off your computer"
Instead it just hangs at the Windows 98 is shutting down screen and when i do power it off, next time i power it on it says
"windows has not been shut down properly the last time used" or something like that....
Any ideas on how to fix this?
