I have just upgraded my pc with new mother****** board, hdd, ram etc. now when I shut down [Im running 98SE by the way]. I get the splash screen 'Windows 98 shutting down' then the wee led on the floppy drive comes on and there we stay. I have to just turn off then, no 'It is safe to shut off' splash just wee red led on.

with the new motherboard it now should shut down by itself i think... not sure. most likely. u need the shut down patch from microsoft. email your address to me at porsche@vectorstar.net and i can email you the patch...

But I think it might be your power settings, either in windows of BIOS. Is your m/b and case ATX?

In BIOS enable Advanced power management options.

In windows right click on desktop, properties, at the bottom of screen saver options are power setting options have a look and check to see whether Advanced power management (ACPI or something) is enabled.
