    Shut down
    HI,
    My computer will not shut down from the start menu.

    Tom

    Windows 98 se
    When I want to shut down I go to start hit
    The shutdown dot. What I see is screen gets
    A little checkerboard like and screen changes
    To the shutdown window saying windows is
    Shutting down. Wait awhile and nothing happens.

    Could you provide a bit more information?

    What OS?

    Do you get any specific error messages?

    What happens, exactly?

    Thanks

    Tom,

    Do a Google search for "windows 98 shutdown patch."
    Microsoft put this patch out years ago to address this problem but honestly, I have seen it rarely fix the problem but it may work in your case.
