Windows 98SE shutdown problem

[overlord]

I have win98se running on a PII 400. However the system does not perform auto power off on shutdown. This means i have to switch it off manually as applies for an AT power supply. Why is my ATX ps acting this way? Any solutions?<br>Thanks.

Did you check your CMOS?&nbsp;&nbsp;Make sure at least APM is enabled?&nbsp;&nbsp;That probably won't solve much, but at least I tried. -- Good Luck <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Secrete of life: If Husband = Happy then Wife = Unhappy.

Overlord, <br><br>The old 98 shutdown problem, we have it on many of our sites, the only fix I have founf that works is<br><br>Create a desktop shorcut&nbsp;&nbsp;to c:\windows\Rundll.exe, with the options user.exe,exitwindows<br><br>So the Icon command line reads<br><br>C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe,exitwindows<br><br>and start in is<br><br>c:\windows<br><br>And click on this to shut down rather than start / shutdown<br><br> <p>Paul Ovey<br><a href=mailtoaul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk>paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
