My W98 box, still a pretty fresh setup, recently started to lockup during shutdown. I restored an OS mirror and the problem went away for a couple of weeks but returned. My W98se is patched with the "Unnofficial SP" v21a, and v3.
I've scanned the web these last few days and found many forum threads from back in the day wrestling with the problem, but none that ever delivered a satisfactory final fix. The best I came up with is making a desktop shortcut:
Windows/Rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows
It works but is not a very graceful solution. Is there a "known" fix for the shutdown lockup?
