I know this question has been asked many times but I can't get Win98 to shut down. It restarts when I choose shutdown. I've already gone through the MS help files. I've downloaded the shutdown patch. I've even tried shutting down form a desktop shortcut with a dos shutdown command.

Does anybody know what causes this or how to fix it??? It can't be good to shutdown by hitting the off switch all the time.

Thanks
 
Have you tried this.

Just in case the link doesn't work:

When you shut down Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98, all device drivers are uninitialized. If fast shutdown is enabled in Windows 98, device drivers are not uninitialized. This results in a faster shutdown. Fast shutdown is enabled by default. Disabling fast shutdown may be necessary when you are troubleshooting shutdown problems in Windows 98.

To disable fast shutdown, follow these steps:

Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Information.

On the Tools menu, click System Configuration Utility.

On the General tab, click Advanced.

Click to select the Disable Fast Shutdown check box, click OK, and then click OK.

Click Yes when you are prompted to restart your computer.

Try it, helped me once on an Abit mobo problem.
 
OK
After a lot of messing around, I think this is a problem with my wake on lan with one of my network cards. Hmmmmm I got a new mobo recently (Asus a7v133) but it didn't do this for the first couple of weeks. It just started.

Should wake on lan start the computer when it is off or just wake it up when it is on stand by?

Curious thing is it restarts even when the wake on lan tether is disconnected.

Anyone have any experience with this?
