Hello, my daughter's old PC(Pentium III 500 MHz, 256 Mb RAM) doesn't switch off power
at the end of shutdown process. This problem apart, it works all right. A look at
BIOS, relating APM tells: Power Management: User define, ACPI function: Enabled,
PM control by APM: Yes, Doze mode: Disabled, Standby mode: Disabled, Suspend mode:
Disabled, HDD Power down: Disabled, PCI/VGA Act-Monitor: Disabled. Besides, in the
system doesn't seem to be any APM module. Any suggestion? Best regards. Alberto

There's nothing to learn from someone who already agrees with you.

Hi Alberto,
Also might be worth considering this - I've never had shutdown problems on any Win98
computer where I've carried out regular registry cleaning. Some popular and reliable
cleaners are CCleaner, Regseeker and Glary Utilities, all available as free downloads.

Hello,
At last I found that it was the network adapter (a Realtek, which was changed recently)
that prevented Windows to shutdown completely. I read that this is a problem that
can be solved replacing the drivers (I have got the complete list of them) for it
with the original (pre-SE)Windows 98 Version (4.10.1998) but I don't know neither
where to find them nor the procedure for their installation. Can you help me ? Best
Regards. Alberto
