I have a problem with a win 98 computer that will reboot after you shut it down. I looked on microsofts web site did not find anything.Does anyone have any Ideas.

change the wake on lan setting in the bios to NOT wake on lan. :)

Go to device manager, and change the power configuration to 'standard PC'. This problem is caused by APM (automatic power management)

Be warned though....you may lose certain drivers, such as graphics, CD-ROM etc.

You must reinstall Windows98, But before do this format your harddrive first.

Run the Msconfig. Select Advance Setting and enable

Disable fast shutdown option.

You must update ACPI Driver on the device manegement.
and restert computer.

This may be part of the problem. Go to Control Panel,double click power management icon, click the "Advanced" tab and set the lower setting to "when I Press the power button on my computer" to "Shutdown."

run bios setup have a good look at when your pc is set to powerup and down check your boot sequence ie floppy hd cd rom check control panel and change your power management easyish prob to sort. good luck

check your autoexec.bat file

I have a problem with a win 98 computer that will reboot after you shut it down. I looked on microsofts web site did not find anything.Does anyone have any Ideas. This computer originally would simply provide a message that read "Safe to Turn off" or something equivalent. But after doing some upgrade downloads, it instead would reboot after a shutdown. Drove me crazy. Eventually went back to the original 'working' copy of the OS and copied from that file CONFIGMG.VXD into the new OS copy. That fixed it. Now this other computer would not reboot and again would display that "safe to turn off" message instead.

Suggest one be very careful about 'upgrading' the shutdown drivers from MS such as 4756US8.EXE (I think the offending upgrade software was). Never found a comprehensive explaination of how the shutdown software works - and therefore don't expect any good explanation in the future.

When i was using 98 and had the problem. i believe u can still find the drivers u need at driverguide .com. u need to find the 98vxd driver file for that problem.

go to : http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot for a troubleshooter & information on shut down issues .
hope this helps,

check your autoexec.bat file

UNLESS the user chooses to 'Restart the computer in MS-DOS Mode'

AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS are NOT executed on shutdown.

My suggestions are:

- Disable quickshutdow
- Check your network card if you have one, they can often cause problems. Try disabling it in device manager temporailiy and see if this solves your problem.
-Try changing the powermanagement settings in BIOS to APM, not ACPI (98 doesnt have good support for ACPI)
- Corruput installation of Win98, attempt to re-install
- Disable WOL (Wake on LAN)
- Attempt to disable Anti-virus software temporaily, some packages that scan at shutdown can sometimes play up. If this solves the problem, uninstall your AV package then re-install.
- Download updates for your motherboard drivers- or upgrade your motherboard.
- OR upgrade to WIn98 SE if you dont already have it, sooo many bugs fixed in SE compared to 1E.

i have seen this on patriot booksize pc's and a fewother random models try changing the bios battery

You can also try insatlling the "Windows 98 Shutdown Supplement" provided by Microsoft. It can be found at:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/Win98SE/Default.asp

It just might do the trick for you.

re win 98 sec ed shutdown problems, go to microsoft base article Q238096

hello there,

with ref to your post, quote: "Try changing the powermanagement settings in BIOS to APM, not ACPI (98 doesnt have good support for ACPI) "

i have posted this and repost here and may be can u pls explain the difference between S1(POS) AND S3 below. fyi, when i change the S1 to S3, it seems that nothing happen or i did not noticed any visible change.

now, i manage to by pass the " busy ... message". However, it does not give the word " its safe to ... " before it off-power itself.

How can i get that wording " its safe to shut ...." back?

repost:-
need help. my bios is 1984-2003 Award Software

when i shut down the pc, it was as usual that is at start/shut down/shut and the pc is able to shut down automatically with the wording "its safe to shut down..." and then it off automatically.

i must have done something/delete when i go to accessories/system tools/ welcome to window (left or right click etc). now when i want to shut down and click 'shut down' it gives a message that "its busy...." and give u 3 options boxes, wait,end task,cancel. when i click end task, and repeat the shut down procedure, it shut down ok but this time it did not give the message that " its safe to shut down", it by pass the "busy ..." message.

But when i restart the pc and want to shut down, i have to face the same problem, the message " its busy...." appears and i have to repeat the above process before i can get it shut down.

i go to control panel and see that there is something missing.

Under Power Mgt properties menu, under the Power Scheme tag, the section on 'setting for Always On power scheme' everything below this has disappeared.
Under the Advance tag, it only have ONE uncheck box for Always show icon on the task bar, while the other box and the rest under Power buttons has disappeared.

How can i get back to normal shut down that it is when i click start/shut down/shut down and it gives me the normal message of 'its safe to shut down' and it shut down by itself and not giving me the "busy" message.

when i go to the bios, under Poer Management Setup menu,
it has ACPI suspend Type - "S1(POS)"

((for this there are 2 options, as follows:-
S1- Set suspend type to Power On Suspend under ACP1 OS
S3- Set suspend type to Suspend to RAM under ACPI OS))

also in the BIOS, have this function
AC BACK Function -"Soft-Off"

((for this there are 3 options, as follows:-
Soft-Off - Always in off state when AC Back
Full-On - Always power on system when AC back
Memory- System power on depends on the status before AC lost))

other functions in the bios are:-
Power LED in S1 state - "Blinking"
Soft-Off by PWR CTTN - "Instant-Off"
PME Event Wake Up- "Enabled"
ModemRingOn - "Enabled'
Resume by Alarm - "Disabled"
Power On By Mouse - "Disabled"
Power On By Keyboard - "Disabled"

appreciate if someone can help. many thanks .. unquote

BAD IDEA Do not reinstall or reformat BAD IDEA

click "start"
then go to "run"
type "msconfig"
in "general" tab
choose diagnostic start up
if that doesn't work use selective start up and and toggle between the the "processes"
like first select only"system.ini"

etc....

first thing u do clean ur memory with solid eraser

reset cmos on main board,and use system restore in safe mode.

throw away your PC
update the computer

From Start Menu, select 'Run'.
Type 'msconfig', and hit <enter>.
Select the Advance Settings tab.
If the 'Disable fast shutdown option' is unchecked, check it.
Close the dialog box, and restart the PC.
Your problem should solve.
regards
