When I attempt to shutdown the computer, I get the message "Taskmon has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL" and the program will close. However, the computer will not shutdown. I have replaced the 98 SE operating system with ME hoping to cure the problem. No luck. Because I have to shutdown manually, I have to go through a disc scan each time I turn on the computer. The computer also hangs up on startup - don't know if this is due to the improper shutdown. I have removed most of the programs from the start menu to correct this, but without success. HELP!
