how can i get a more update shell for windows 98/me?

[jumper]

Do you mean an Explorer.exe replacement?

 

[Joaquim]

i mean for turn off the computer... i know the dialog for 'shutdown' and 'restart' it's the shell32.dll.

but i need 1 update for don't show 'it's safe to turn off the computer' and just turn off

If your motherboard's BIOS actually supports ACPI, Windows should have been installed by invoking the setup program in win98/win9x folder on the installation CD from the command line like:

setup /p j

You can't avoid the message to turn off the computer if your hardware lacks ACPI support because such computer can't be turned off by software.

Yep, but the other thread is also started by the same Joaquim and apparently on exactly the same topic.

so i will try re-install windows 98(maybe i will get more from MS-DOS).

i will try the 'setup /p j' for test if i can install the windows and turn off the computer....

jaclaz: now i will try another way... maybe i can do it

more info: when i installed the Windows 2000, the computer was turn off automatic. so my hardware is compatible

[Joaquim]

greate i can't install it use the '/p j' command

i need more 1 or something.... the computer frezes

[Joaquim]

i try  '/p ji', maybe will works
