Just go to the link below.
Find the item:
"Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement" and click on it to download a file called 4756US8.exe which is the patch.

Depending on the details of your installation and a gazzilion other factors (there are no cut'n dried solutions) you might try hitting the escape key.

I've seen it do magic on several systems with the same problem.
