I was looking at a friend of the family's computer and his had a problem shutting down. It went through the whole cycle but never finally turned off until physically nudged. (!!) We put a 128M stick in(what I was there for in the first place...) and the problem mysteriously went away. Memory has solved gimpy shutdowns on 98 computers for me too. His was a Compaq 700 PIII with 64M factory. My sister's Vaio K6-3 laptop with the same 64M works just fine. It's worth keeping in mind. Memory is cheap right now.
