Hi Squashman! I have tried the runonce. Is there a way to increase this time and hide the small window that appears? I have tried again the rundll Joined Aug 1, Messages 51, I guess XP was first with that. Are your environment variables OK? Hi elvandil, No, Shutdown.
Delete it, save the file, shutdown complete power down and reboot. YOur problem should be gone. Nothing like that in autoexex. It has only 5 lines in it. Any other ideas? Also run msconfig from the run command and see if any un-needed startup items can be turned off. Run a full virus scan ofall files while you are at it. Also run sfc form the run command, and have it search for corrupt files and replace any it may find. Hope that helps, Alon. Running Mcafee virus latest patch deep scan and no hits.
Ran scanreg at does after registry backup of course and no errors. I run MS regclean on a weekly schedule. I do have a few things installed for graphics and such and I have turned off everything I can think of.
Still does a restart no matter what I select at shutdown. This PC is a Celeron so it isn't that fast or new. The restart problem is only a small inconvienence but I would like to solve it. Any other help? It will give you the option to disable fast shutdown. Thanks Anders and the others. I went from W95 to W skipping 98 so it is a new set of issues to learned.
I am having heaps on issues getting Windows 98 up and running properly. The issue I am facing now is that the system. I recently formated the machine because I had an issue were the computer stopped shutdown or restarting in just hang on "Windows is now restarting" I still haven't installed the onboard VGA card and monitor because I wanted to make a clone of the HDD before installing my sound card and Video card.
Can someone please explain why I am having these shutdown issues. Usually this is a result of a later model NVIDIA graphics card being installed, but if you haven't installed one or the drivers yet, then I'd suggest looking at making sure your system has the proper updated files since Windows 98 SE had shutdown issues that were addressed by Microsoft themselves.
Thanks i will give it a go when i get home from work, i tried that supplement before formatting but when prompted to restart it freezes "Windows is now shutting down.
That's why we built Unofficial ones and AutoPatchers. You must be really young? I'm not sure if he has an auto patch for it but I do know the fix he posted involves just a slight bit of hex editing which I'm really good at. What's funny with my recent machine that I built, usually Windows 98 would just hang at shutdown but this one would actually set off the system speaker and it would just continue to beep until it was shut off manually, and I don't mean just beep beep beep, it was beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, almost like if you held a key down on the keyboard and never let go of it.
It was really the first time in a long time that something startled me because I wasn't expecting it to do that. Monitor is irrelevant. Tied thru the VGA relevant. Older nVidia work fine this one is Geforce4. Did you install the Chipset Drivers first? Yes the first thing i did was install the chipset drivers when i was prompted to restart my keyboard and mouse froze, and i had no choice but to force restart from the case. I know, I was just throwing it out into the wind though since it does cause problems once installed.
Are your chipset drivers really "required" for the machine to operate? I don't think I've installed real chipset drivers in such a long time.
