Petra: if it's not too late; download a patch from the link below (after your text).
click on the blue Next button, agree to the licence agreement, click the blue next
button again to reach the download.
select the Save (to Desktop) option in the download dialogue box.
leave it there, and show it to the computer owner and let that person decide what
to do with it.
if the operating system is Win98SE, the patch should fix the shutdown problem.
