I have a question about When I choose "Shut Down" from the Start Menu, my computer restarts instead of shutting down:

Hi. I am working on a school computer lab and I got this problem on almost all the machines in here. I have done noting to the video drivers nor the shoutdown screens of the machines, my work here is very simple to install/uninstall sofware in time to time. So please, someone can help me out? What is going on? Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

I had the same problem. Solved it by going to start>run, then type in msconfig , then click the 'advanced' button, and check the box in front of 'disable fast shutdown'. Hope this works for you.

Microsoft has a Shutdown Patch for Windows 98. This is a common problem which I had. Go to www.google.com and type in Windows 98 Shutdown Patch and it should give yo the location of the file. (available from microsoft). Download it and run it and it should solve your problem. Keep it handy because sometimes installing new programs will cuase the bug to return and you will need to rerun the patch program
