Guest wrytat Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I'm experiencing the symptoms as described in this article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239887); my pc stop responding after shutdown. I want to download the Shutdown Supplement, but the Download button is only a picture. (So near, yet so far...) Where can I find the Shutdown Supplement?
Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Shutdown Supplement You PC isn't supposed to respond after you shut down. If you mean you have a hard time starting it again, that's a hardware problem. Otherwise, please rephrase. The Shutdown Supplement is only for Windows 98 Second Edition. Do you have that? Also, the Supplement is know to cause other problems. See: http://aumha.org/win4/a/shutdown.htm http://aumha.org/win4/a/shtdwnse.htm Installing the Supplement should be the last resort. -- Gary S.

Guest wrytat Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Shutdown Supplement Yes, I'm using Win 98 SE. And I always couldn't shut down properly. The system very frequently got stuck at the big Windows logo and a message stating that, "Windows is shutting down". Sometimes, the PC even display a black screen with a cursor blinking somewhere in the middle (like a command prompt). The only thing I can do now is to switch off the power. But when I start the PC next time, the system will start to scan disk due to detected improper shut down. "Gary S. Terhune" wrote: > You PC isn't supposed to respond after you shut down.

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Shutdown Supplement That doesn't sound like the standard Shutdown problem. But read the articles and before doing anything else, disable Fast Shutdown in MSCONFIG. Honestly, yours doesn't sound like a problem that the Supplement will solve. You should go through the entire troubleshooter, one step at a time. -- Gary S.
