I just installed Win98 on two different PC with 2 different motherboards and in both cases the shut-down/reboot does not work. The PC's stay forever on the shutdown screen
I bet you are using quick shutdown.... To disable find a file named msconfig.exe in your windows directory. Run the file and click advanced. The disable quick shutdown...what may be happening is in the process of shutting down your system the drivers for the hard drive are dumped before the shutdown is complete. By disabling quick shutdown, you will buy some time to reach the end of the process before the drivers are dumped...yes another bug!...take care....Ross

I you've a networkcard in youre PC (guess you've) and you're connecting to the internet, then you've the TCP /IP protocol also connected to your NIC. Under network panel, give the tcp/ip protocol an IP number and subnet mask.
This 'll do the trick. Works for 95 and 98. Also have a look at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q159/8/82.asp

Try turning down CD-ROM caching. To do this right click on MY COMPUTER, click on the PERFORMANCE tab, then click on FILE SYSTEM button then click on the CD-ROM tab and move the slider bar for SUPPLEMENTAL CACHE SIZE to SMALL. This will not affect the performance of your CD-ROM. Hope this helps.
Go to support.microsoft.com/support, under knowledge base search for "Q238096, How to troubleshoot Windows 98 SE Shutdown Problems", Look at Plug and Play Bios and try it. I found that the computer will reboot once the "Bios.vxd" was renamed to "Bios.old". If it does work, its a bios problem.
