Windows 98 SE Shutdown Problems
Many Windows 98 users report problems with their computers hanging during the Shut Down routine. As problems go, this one isn't so major.

It's usually safe to turn off your computer after 30 seconds or so, as long as the Windows Is Shutting Down screen is visible. Still, it is annoying. If you're having this problem and you're running Windows 98 Second Edition, you could be experiencing trouble with a bug in the program. Microsoft has a fix available online, and this is always the first place to look. Find information about downloading and running the bug fix at:
