i select dos restart from the shutdown menu and then my screen is about to do it then is followed by a bunch of scribbly black and white lines traveling horizontal on my screen. i wait nothing responds. any help would be appreciated.
1) a blue screen saying it is waiting for a program to respond or 2) the task list indicating something is not responding.
You may have some resident programs which you don't know about that need to be shutdown first.
