Reply: (edit)jwoodrum, FWIW, a lot of Windows 98 based machines (ME is one) have reported various shutdown problems for a variety of reasons. I have experienced problems using both OSes and a solution which worked for me is installation/use of a program called 'Slawdog'. If you put a shortcut icon in your quicklaunch toolbar, it'll provide you reliable ONE CLICK shutdown. Want it? Free at : http://www.slawdog.com/products/smartsd/ HTH. Ed in Texas.

Reply: (edit)I would like to thank Viking for the assistance. The MSKB article 273746 did the job. I removed all programs from the StartUp directory and the problem went away. After adding programs back into the StartUp directory, I found that US Robobics Instant Reminder.exe was the problem. I will tell US Robotics about the problem. Thanks again to Viking Jeff Woodrum
