hi mike, if the link cheeky provided doesn't do it, here are some notes i have gathered in a file on the topic... ******************************* win98 shutdown problems How to Troubleshoot Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Problems support.microsoft.com also…. Here's a work-around. Create a new shortcut on the desktop, Name it "ExitWindows". Right click the icon, click on properties, and in the box named "Target" type the following line. C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE user.exe,exitwindows In the box "Start In", type C:\WINDOWS, then save it. To exit, just double click the icon." Also... Are you on a cable modem, network hub, or have a secondary Operating system? More likely your kernell32 file is corrupt. when was the last time you ran scanreg.exe if not sure, type scanreg in the RUN window of the 'start'. ********************************* good luck. let us know if it gets better :) mark
