Restart instead of Shutdown
Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension XPS D233 running Windows 98 SE. When I chose shutdown the computer restarts instead. Even if I restarts in dos mode and press the shutdown button on the front of the computer the computer restarts instead of shutdowns.
I have already installed the windows 98 Shutdown supplement but that didn't help a bit. And the FastReboot key in the registry is set to "0".
Please help me cause this is really annoying me

Sorry about that, I hadn't checked the link lately. By the way, if you did the shutdown supplement thing a long time ago you might want to try it again. MS refined it somewhat in Oct or Nov of last year....

I installed it today. Still doesn't work.
The only thing I can think of that is causing it is that the Turtle Beach Montego driver for Soudblaster compability is in conflict with another card I have. Do you know how to get rid of that driver?

No sure don't, sorry. Stick around, one of the other folks may have an answer for that....

I have been having the same problem. I have a Dimension XPS R400. It won't shutdown, and the power button restarts. However when I goto shutdown, it instead gives me the error "Operating System not found". Another restart fixes that, but it still won't shut down. I have regular Windows 98.517

I'm afraid that didn't help either.
