I just installed the new windows 98 second addition update. When I shut down the PC stops at the windows shut down window and does not go to "it is safe to turn off your computer now". I did have to re install my mouse driver. I am using a Kensington Expert Mouse. I also get errors on explorer and systrace which close and are accessible when I open them. Any suggestions

My shut hangs and I end up cutting the computer off. I had no idea that it would eventually cause display problems. The strange thing is that it sometimes does go to the screen that says "it is now safe to shut off computer". I have in the past two months installed softwear that was of a later form of windows98. Please give me advice, I don't want it to happen agai.
my computer CPU cut's off before the screen says"it is safe to shut off your computer" can you help me please.
