Shutting down computer problems, since broadband.
|
Hi,
I have recently upgraded to broadband, since then when i try to shutdown my computer at night, the comp freezes when "windows is shutting down" appears, I have tried disconnecting the internet connection but it still happens, to stop it freezing i have just been turning it off at the plug, which i no is bad for it, never had this problem before i had broadband so i think the 2 things must be related......
I am running win98 se
Help on this matter would be most appreciated....
Thanks

Is the software they gave you suitable for 98?

Work your way through this document from Microsoft and see if that helps.

I used to run several machines with win98 and they all eventually got into this state (nothing to do with bb) where the shutdown froze. I spent some fruitless time trying all the fixes I could find and eventually accepted that win98 does this.
Every 6 months or so I would wipe and re-install windows which would clear it but it always returned.
Like you i would just turn off computer with switch on machine or plug and I never did any damage.
my advice is relax or, never turn your machine off
