39314 2002-03-15 10:55:00 I choose shutdown but it restarts as if I choose restart. I have to choose shutdown to DOS. Anyone knows a cure? May be a corrupted file or register key. Guest (0)
39315 2002-03-15 11:30:00 check in the bios for an optoin called 'power on after power fail' (or something simaler). set it to off so if it has a power cut it will not auto restart when power is restored. Guest (0)
39316 2002-03-15 12:15:00 Hi Steven, have a look at the ms known error at this address-support.microsoft.com


This is an extract from it...


'The Microsoft System Configuration utility includes an option to disable Fast Shutdown. If this option is not set in Windows 98 Second Edition, your computer
may reboot instead of shutting down. To resolve this issue, change the
FastReboot data value from 1 to 0 in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Shutdown

NOTE: After you apply the Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement, the
Disable Fast Shutdown option is no longer listed on the Advanced tab in
Msconfig.exe.
