Shut Down Problems
Well, I found out why Win 98/ME sometimes locks when
you try to put it into Suspend mode. You're gonna love
this. You get this bug, believe it or not, when a
drive letter is lower case in the SYSTEM.INI. You can
fix this by doing the following: First, select Start,
Run, type MSCONFIG in the Open: box, then press OK.
Select the SYSTEM.INI tab. Click the + sign next to
the [386Enh] section to expand it. Select the line
PAGINGFILE= and click Edit. Change the lowercase drive
letter to uppercase, click Apply, then OK, and restart
your computer when prompted. That's all there is to
it.
Win 98 users sometimes find their machines "hanging"
during shutdown. This can be caused by the Fast
Shutdown protocol, which sometimes causes applications
still running to crash, causing the system to hang
instead of shut down properly. The easiest way to
handle this is to disable Fast Shutdown by going into
Start, Run, and typing MSCONFIG in the box. Press
Enter, and press the Advanced button. Check "Disable
Fast Shutdown." Win 95, 98SE, and ME users, you won't
experience this problem.
