windows shutdown menu problem!!!!!!!!!!

[Echelon]

Hi,
I'm having a problem: From windows I cannot exit to MS-DOS and restart windows via shutdown, when I want to restart windows or exit to MS-DOS, my computer resets itself. What I CAN do is shutdown and restart my computer.
I don't know what I have done that has caused this problem to appear, I just formatted my computer and reinstalled win98 yesterday.
Can someone give me some suggestions on how I can solve this issue?

I have win98 first edition

thx in advance

Win 98 always has been finicky at shutdown. I'm not too familiar with your OS, I have Win98SE which would not shut down initially. I downloaded the "mapped drives shutdown" update from Microsoft and the problem went away.Text

there's a win update that solves shutdown problems related to incomplete flushing of the disk cache of large hdd and fast cpu (a timing problem)

That update is for windows 98SE

So I went searching for a solution on the MS website and I found that the problem was indeed a shutdown problem confirmed by MS. But the thing is, it's a problem with Win98SE and I have the first edition. I tried and installed Win98SE and now my problem was gone! I'd say this is weird. I'm gonna uninstall it back to Win98FE and see what it does.
anyone?
