Is it rebooting, or hung up on close? The latter has a host of reasons why it could happen. There are many article on tech-net about a laundry list of fixes. JerseyBoy

How old is the computer? If it is old, it may not support the automatic shutdown feature in Win98. I have had this problem when upgrading some Win95 machine to Win98.

Hello Putbinoot:

If you go to Run>msconfig>Advanced, is "Disable fast shutdown" checked? If it is not, you may get the reboot problem.

Since you have 98SE try installing the shutdown supplement:

If that fails to fix it see these:

You can try disabling the Advanced power management compatibility driver under Control Panel, System, Device manager, System Devices.

Some BIOS cause this effect while shutting down Win98se.

I hope this works.
