Win98SE Shutdown

[geoff]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Further to my earlier queries of not being able to shutdown Win98SE (hangs
at Windows Shutdown screen).

I have tried using shutdown shortcut C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32
SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx 8 (to power off) but this does not work either.

And yet, if I shutdown from 'Safe Mode' then the computer does power off ok.

Does this give anyone a clue as to what may be preventing 'normal' shutdown?

Thanks

I've twice now run acorss one setting that's caused that. Many SB sound
cards (and maybe others?) have a setting under their Properties in device
manager for "sharing irq", uncheck it has worked on both pc's for me.

uncheck and restore each application (except Systray) one by one you may
find the baddie.

This is pretty easy to try and may even work.
Do an EndTask on all entries in the Close Program Box(ctrl-alt-del) (except for
Explorer) and see if it will close properly now.
If so, only do half of them next time and see what happens. You should be able
to find the 'culprit' , if it really is a program that is not closing properly
causing the problem.

No conflicts showing up in the devices.........nor any shared IRQ for sound
or graphics.
