My daugthers system has windows98se on it and every time she trys to shut it
down it restarts instead of shutting down. This started after she disabled
fast shut down and deleted a usewhich there was only one of. When starting
it now when the user box comes up she clicks on cancel.

Suggestons please??

I have similar problem except mine has an erratic component. If I shut down
within about 1/2 hour my computer will turn off, longer sessions go through
shut down but immediately restarts.

I'm using win98

Got it fixed. She re-enabled fast shut (Start, Run, MSConconfig,
Advanced, Enable fast shutdown) and all is well again 'til next time.

Learn to live with it, or join a monastery. I have had W98 for 4
years now (the same operating system many times tweaked), and it
still morphs when it dam.. well pleases. Most recently, he mouse
won't boot unless I disconnect it before booting, then attach it
later.
The sign-in screen has been in and out a few times (-in- at the
moment, but there's no telling when it will morph again. It's
one of Bill Gates' countless practical jokes, and he has others,
likely some we have not seen yet.
