GTXP driver won't let my Win98SE shutdown

[Muse]

After installing the Hercules Game Theater XP drivers my Win98SE won't shut down. It just sits at the screen "Shutting down Windows 98". I had to uninstall the driver. What's the deal? I'm multibooting:

C: FAT boot partition
D: FAT common data partition
E: Win98SE
F: NT 4
G: Win2000

When I tried to install from the CD that came with the card, there was no driver to install! I went and downloaded the latest driver for the GTXP which is supposed to support Win9x, Win2k and WinXP, version 6.1. It installs, asks to reboot. The driver seems to work, but I can't shut down Win98SE. Thanks for help.

The problem finally resolved but I'm not sure why. I Ghosted back Win98SE from where it didn't have the GTXP drivers installed. I figured out how to install the drivers from the supplied CD, which is very obscure. So obscure, in fact, that you have to go to the website for a correction on a mistake in the manual. The manual tells you to point Win98 to the drive, but you have to point it to the \win9x directory on the CD reading drive to find the drivers. At the same time (I know, I shoudn't have done this) before rebooting I noticed that the driver for my Promise IDE controller card wasn't shown in control panel. I installed it from floppy, rebooted, and my Win98 shutdown problem had disappeared. I DID have to hit the reset button to get it to reboot! Next time I shut down I hit the Shift button before pressing or clicking anything and the shutdown proceeded correctly. After that, no problems. The reason? Sure don't know, but things are OK now. Subsequently installed the latest GTXP driver, downloaded from Hercules' website, and things are still OK. Will Ghost now and hope for the best (won't look back, hopefully).
