when I shut down windows some times it turns
off ,sometimes it won't.All I'm left with is the win 98
screen.I have to turn the power off then on again.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Andy

If this happens only occasionally, I would ignore it. Trying to
identify the cause could chew up a lot of your time and yield nothing.

James Eshelman has an excellent website focusing on Windows shutdown
problems:

Also the Microsoft KnowledgeBase offers the document 238096, "How to
Troubleshoot Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Problems".
