do you manually shut it down than & when you restart windows does it do a scandisk or just go into windows. check the microsoft site for a file/program called win98se shutdown or something like that. is about 505kb in size. if can't find it pm me.

I do believe this is a common problem with 98SE.

My mates PC would not bootup or close down if the modem/adapter was connected.
I tried lots of things for days to try and solve it, but to no avail.
The only thing I could do is power on without it and shut down after removing it.

I do think it is a windows issue rather than hardware, however that was some time ago, so as ddp suggested maybe there is a patch/firmware/driver update that may cure the problem.

If you find one let us know, cos I would be interested if there is one outhere aswell..................ready to be taught.....LOL
