I am afraid this is the dreaded shutdown problem. The shutdown fixes only work in 75% of the cases. There is a runddl-command which shut down your pc but I don't know the exact command.

I don't know if you fellows know but there are 2 patches made by MS

for the shutdown problem, I never have a problem with the shutdown if

I use both of them.

1st = 4756US8.exe

2nd = 239887up.exe

I have both if either are needed but i'm sure they'll turn up googling for

them.

This is the runddl-command

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE User,ExitWindows

I have shortcuts in my quicklaunch that uses that command.

right clicked desktop & created new shortcut.

for shutdown it was { Rundll.exe User.exe,exitwindows } called it shutdown

for restart it was { Rundll.exe User.exe.exitwindowsexec } called it restart

without the brackets either side

Then place them in the quicklaunch folder for one click shutdown or restart.

You can use the following command in a shortcut to restart Windows 98/Me automatically:

• rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx n

where n is one, or a combination of, the following numbers:

• 0 - LOGOFF

• 1 - SHUTDOWN

• 2 - REBOOT

• 4 - FORCE

• 8 - POWEROFF

The above options can be combined into one value to achieve different results. For example, to restart Windows forcefully, without querying any running programs, use the following command line:

rundll32.exe shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 6

NOTE: Using the FORCE option can cause programs to lose data.

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE User,ExitWindowsexec -> does a quick restart not a reboot :-(

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE User,ExitWindows -> does a shutdown.

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE shell32.dll,SHExitWindowsEx 2 -> does a porper reboot
