9364 2001-02-28 20:32:00 I have a P3 running win98se.
When I try to shut down my comp. by clicking shut down/shut down, everything shuts down, than three seconds later it just reboots.This is a new problem. I have had the comp. for several months and it always shut down properly until last week.
I have isstalled the shut down patch and I have been right through the ms trouble shooter. No change.
I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled win.Everything worked . I then reinstalled all my software,shutting down between all instillations.
After installing my sound card the problem re-appeared.I removed sound card software (ForteMedia),but the problem wouldn't go away.
I reformatted again and started over.This time when I installed mouse drivers, (LOgitech USB mouse) the problem returned.
I have now run out of ideas.
The only way I can shut dowm is to wait until it all shuts down and then hit the power button. If I hit the power button at any other stage all it does is cause a re-boot.

9366 2001-02-28 21:43:00 I have also found the linked VXD fix has helped resolve a number of obsure errors on some of my friends machines. I actually apply this 'fix' to all PC's I work on now as a standard error correcting tweak before dealing with the actual problems displayed by the PC.
