Default Win98 shutdown problem.........

I've an old Windows 98 machine on my home network. It is intermittently failing to shutdown. When everything works, machine powers off OK.

When not, monitor is blank and machine is still running. Power cycle and reboot gets scandisk active for not shutting down cleanly.

Any ideas? I recently uninstalled a year old version of Zone Alarm, but I thought problems with this app being uninstalled were only related to net access?

Thanks, Richard

No. Was hoping there's a log somewhere, or at least one I can enable?

This is due to the PCI bus shutting down before the OS has had chance to unload the network drivers.

There is a bug fix on the MS web-site, go look for it.
