window 98 SE shutdown problem ??

bindudhindsa · 04-30-2007, 02:59 PM

i have problem in shutting down my computer with window 98 SE

so far i have tried ..

IRQ Steering
This option allows several PCI devices to share the same interrupt request line (IRQ). If the BIOS is not fully compliant, this option may cause your computer not to shut down properly, even if two or more devices are not sharing an IRQ. To disable PCI bus IRQ Steering, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System.
2. On the Device Manager tab, click System Devices.
3. Double-click PCI Bus, and then click to clear the Use IRQ Steering check box on the IRQ Steering tab.
4. Click OK, click OK, and then restart your computer.
5. After you restart the computer, attempt to shut down your computer again.

so if u have any other suggestions ...please let me know ..

thanks

Sid

The Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement addresses shutdown issues on systems with specific hardware/software configurations running Windows 98 Second Edition. These issues include systems restarting when selecting shutdown and systems hanging on shutdown.

Hi Sid

Your system shouldn't have trouble with PCI Steering enabled: disabling it is more likely to cause problems than to help.

Try the aumha Troubleshooter for Win95/98/Me shutdown problems --- http://www.aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm

Is this the same Windows 98 computer that had trouble during startup? Did you ever make your way through the diagnostics (hard drive and memory) and the Microsoft troubleshooter for fatal exception errors? If not, try those. Here was the link to that thread --- http://www.techsupportforum.com/micr...ed-things.html

I've also replied to your latest thread for a startup error in Win98 --- http://www.techsupportforum.com/micr...ease-help.html

If these errors are all happening on the same computer, help us out -- try to keep one thread going for each troubled computer -- it's much easier for us to follow, & we can help you better.

Best of luck
