| I have not had to deal with this problem in ages and have forgotton the fix.
Installing certain drivers with win98 causes the program to hang on on shut
down. I know there is a site that has a fix for this problem but cannot
remember what it is. Can some one help please

| There is, to this day, no easy or simple fix for this that works in all
cases. This can be a tough problem to resolve, and in some cases it
cannot be resolved. There are articles on the MS web site (in the
knowledge base) on this subject.
One thing that can cause this is having a network (Ethernet) card in the
machine but not actually being connected to a network.

One thing you could try is going to the Start up options menu(after you
reboot then repeatedly tapping F8 but NOT too fast), pick the second
option(Bootlog.txt). the once you've gotten to the desktop, go from Start
to "find files and folders", type in Bootlog.txt(which may be a hidden and
read only file I can't recall), then click to open in Notepad and examen the
result. If any entry takes an unusually long time, then THAT is the problem
driver. And yes, Ethernet cards can be problematic with this.
