a win98SE question

[Toothpick]

Heres my problem-o, not always but most of the time now when I go and select to turn off my computer everything seems to be going as it should but as it gets to the very last screen before it would shut down it reboots itself.

How do I fix this one.....<sigh>

Ohh that old chestnut!

Follow these directions

Also, ensure you have all the latest drivers for your hardware etc.

Good luck!

Thanks Mitzi...

but this is the weird part, I have used W98 since the day it was released and never had this problem

Wierd, must be something you have installed recently, a new driver perhaps, a new utility or application.

Did you download the shutdown update and did it solve the issue?
