Some USB devices will prevent Windows from shutting down. I have a Lexar smart media reader (USB). When I forget and leave it plugged in on shutdown, my computer won't shutdown. If I unplug it before trying to shutdown, no problems. Also take a look at this article: Q202633 How to Troubleshoot Windows 98 Shutdown Problems

There are 2 shutdown fixes for Win98 on the page
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/corporate.asp

One if you have a few mapped network drives,
and the other for various issues preventing shutdown.
Another suggestion that works for me - is to goto Add/Remove programs, Windows Components, 
and turn off Web Tools (esp Personal Web Server).

Hi Budi. I 'm not sure if you have got over the shut down problem,but this solution worked for me. Do a file search for "lowgow.sys" right click on it and rename it "lowgo.old",this removes the shut down splash screen,and the system shuts down every time. If you have time let me know how you get on,or if you found another solution please let me know.

My windows 98SE hangs up, not ever completely shutting down. I have downloaded the so-called fix but the problem continues. I'm wondering if I might need more ram; I have 64 ram but supposedly I have 60% free space. What should I do?

Go to Start, Run, enter msconfig and click OK.  Click on teh Advanced button.  Scroll 
down the list and check the box for "Disable fast shutdown"

I was looking through Microsoft's site for problems with shutdown on ME. Microsoft is usually blaming either USB devices, external storage devices, or incorrect driver info. If you have USB devices plugged in, unplug them before shutdown. If you have recently updated or installed drivers, check into that and make sure all's well there. I don't know if this info will help anyone or not. But it is some info. here's where I was looking for ME shutdown problems http://search.support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?Catalog=LCID%3D1033%26CDID%3DEN-US-KB%26PRODLISTSRC%3DON&withinResults=&QuerySource=gsfxAdvancedSearch_Query&Product=winme&Queryc=shut+down+incomplete&Query=shut+down+incomplete&KeywordType=ALL&maxResults=25&Titles=false&numDays=

Go to start run-type msconfig- on the startup tab delete any duplicate items. This should fix your problem.
