re: Question about 'When I choose ''Shut Down'' from the Start Menu, my computer hangs at the ''Please Wait'' screen' Saturday, November 9, 2002 at 2:19 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Colin (2 messages posted) One of the things I've found is that AOL can cause this problem because a part of its code becomes corrupt. Specifically, a program CFNDIS that is meant to close the comms CFOS manager of AOL - up to at least version 7.0 - may not terminate and that leaves the message 32 bit program not terminated in the bootlog. I haven't yet found a way round this as AOL don't seem to know whether they use CFOS now or not!! I'll keep you posted.
