Download the Win98 shutdown patch from microsoft.com\Win98 section...then follow its installation instructions. GoodLuck!

Go the Help section from the Start bar and type in shutdown. Windows will walk you through several fixes for shutdown problem. I personally had to stop my anti-virus software from scanning A drive during shutdown. That solved my shutdown problem.
