won't shut down properly

My computer is not shutting down properly. If i want the computer to shut off i have to hold the power button until the machine shuts off. it does this about 75% of the time. the computer is less than a few weeks old, and i am getting frustrated. please help!

thanks

    One suggestion if your using Windows 98SE.... go to the Windows Update site. Microsoft released two patches to correct shut down problems with Windows.

    I also am a new computer owner and I am experiencing the same thing when I go to shut down. The monitor clicks off and the hard drice stays on. I agree that it is very frustrating. I have yet to figure it out.
