Solve : Win 98 freezes at shutdown? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>I've checked this forum and done quite a bit of research but here's the problem. My brother runs an older style Pentium computer with no connection to the internet. He started to run a "Band in the Box" program and his computer freezes on shutdown. I've done ctrl-alt-del but the only thing running is Explorer and Systray. If he doesn't run the Band in a Box program, he doesn't have a problem shutting down. I'm going to run a clean registry program, anti-virus, spyware program just in case there's something left over from the previous owner. I'm even considering installing the Win98 Shutdown <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/patch-1148821" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PATCH">PATCH</a>. Any suggestions on what else I can try?Run your clean registry program, anti-virus, spyware program. It can't hurt. The Win98 shutdown patch was specific for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/certain-407894" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CERTAIN">CERTAIN</a> circumstances.<br/><br/>Since this is a previously owned machine, the best solution would be to format and reload an OS. <br/><br/>Good luck. I did reload the os last September but I didn't format. I cleaned the registery, and scanned for viruses and trojans which proved negative. It's still freezing on shutdown but only after I use a certain musical program.
