Windows 98SE Starting by itself.....(weird)

[Shilohcity]

Hi there<br><br>I have had numerous problems ever since I installed WIN98SE but anyways the most recent is that my PC seems to be turning itself on randomly. I always follow the correct shutdown procedure and it does not restart straight away however a few hours later it turns on. I also am experiencing random attempts to connect to the internet, failure of Windows Update and loss of user settings upon restart. Can anybody help me please....<br><br>Justin

Have you tried turning off your modem after shutting down your PC? I have found out that if someone calls your phone and you modem is on, and connected, it will boot your machine.<br><br>Hope that helps a little. <p>ahdkaw<br><a href=mailto:ahdkaw@sensibilium.com>ahdkaw@sensibilium.com</a><br><a href=

Depending on your machine, there may be a &quot;wake on modem ring&quot; option. Disabling this may solve your problem without unplugging the modem. <p>Al<br><a href=mailto: atc-computing@home.com> atc-computing@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
