win98: how reboot more faster and turn off automatic?

Featured Replies

- when i turn on the computer, why the win98 seems stops for some seconds 10-20s and then continues?

- is there a patch for turn off the computer automatic?(i mean without we need press the button fisicly)


Two most common issues regarding long boot up times in 98SE:
1. DHCP - you must assign the IP address of the device manually in Network control panel rather than using DHCP as that cause a long delay in boot. I think this was fixed in Windows ME, but I'm not 100% sure. 

2. Leaving USB flash drives plugged in when the unofficial USB drivers are installed.

As for the shutdown problem, you can try these things:
1. Installing the Windows 98 SE Shutdown Supplement.
2. Reinstalling Windows 98 SE with the /p i switch to avoid installing buggy ACPI which may cause problems with shutdown.
3. If you have NVIDIA GPU, using the Shutdown Fix.
4. Using different unofficial USB drivers.

In the network settings if you have "Client for Microsoft Networking", open its properties and select "Quick Logon".

When booting, press F8, select "Step by step", and see if any specific steps/drivers cause a long delay.

Also, remove that scratched CD from the drive, lol.

Normally, when selecting the "Shutdown" item from the "Shutdown Windows" menu
win.com of 9x performs a (useless at 2019) shutdown procedure machines through
APM with the subsequent, if unsuccessful, the output of the picture and stopping
the machine.

With the patch, these steps will be skipped, and instead will be called a regular
procedure, which, when Windows starts, executes the DOSSTART.BAT batch file, and
now it will also be execute WINEXIT.BAT when exiting Windows, if this batch file
is found in the folder %WINDIR%.


In this batch file you can give any of your commands, which you want, for example:

WINEXIT.BAT:
@echo off
fdapm poweroff
echo.
echo If computer now retain on, you can turn off it manually.
echo.

This batch file will try to turn off the machine through the APM/ACPI interfaces.
In this way You can achieve a complete shutdown of the latest machines, where APM
has long been absent, and their new ACPI is useless for 9x.

:realmad:
1) download ACPIOFF
2) extract WINEXIT.BAT, FDAPM.COM, WIN.ENG to WINDIR,
3) backup your original WIN.COM to safe place,
4) rename WIN.ENG to WIN.COM with replace,
5) reboot machine.
after this you can turn off machine succesfully.
