Windows 98 Shutdown Hang

[Guest]

I am new to this group. I experience frequent hanging at shutdown. "Windows
is shutting down" appears and stays. Sometimes for hours.. Any suggestions on
how to fix this? I am using IE 6.0.28. Thank you very much

.....and adding alittle extra uneeded detail if my own:
Click Start>Run, type MSCONFIG and click OK.
On the General tab, click the Advanced button.
Click to put a check mark in the box for "Disable fast shutdown", and click OK.
Click OK to close Msconfig, and restart the computer.

If that does not help, or if the box was already checked or wasn't there, go here:
