Glad to see Nemer on the scene...you're in good hands. A couple of more suggestions. techadvice.com ...The computer "hangs" on shutdown.... When using ACPI and the computer hangs with the message, the computer might lock up with the message.. Windows is shutting down -OR- It's now safe to turn off your computer "Hard Drive" might be causing problem Check your hard drive for possible errors using the surface scan option. Even better use a commercial Utilities program to scrub the hard disk and see if there are any bad spots. If you are using Norton Anti Virus, use the "Live Update" to update your virus definitions through the internet. Sometimes this will fix problems with hanging during shutdown. "Typical Role" might be causing problem Another cause might be the "Typical Role of a computer = Network Server" setting which is found in \| Control Panel \| System \| Performance-Tab \| File system-Button \| Hard Disk-Tab \|. When this setting is set to "Network Server" the computer can have problems 'dumping the cache'. Change the setting to "Desktop Computer" and see if the helps. "Fast Find" causes problem Try disabling the program "Fast Find" Click on Start \| Run \| and type in the text box MSCONFIG and click OK The "system configuration utility" screen will open. Click on the Advanced button on the bottom right corner. Uncheck the "Microsoft Find Fast" check box (if it is checked) Click OK to close the Advanced screen, Click OK again to close the Utility screen. A user suggested holding down the "Shift" key while clicking on Shutdown. ...problems with UDMA and OEM version of Win98 see "How to Automate the UDMA Fix in Windows 98" - Microsoft KB article Q241459 (109).
