Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
SYMPTOMS
You may experience any of the following symptoms when you select an option in the Shut Down Windows dialog box.
CAUSE
This problem can occur because:
-
The computer could hang at the shutdown screen intermittently, because
the Apmbatt.sys component is not responding to the system shutdown
notification from the operating system and could enter an endless loop.
-or-
-
The computer could hang with a black screen because of the method in which
IRQ holders for the video adapter are configured at boot time and disabled
during shutdown by the Pci.vxd component.
-or-
-
The fast shutdown option modified by Msconfig.exe contains a code path in
which the computer could reboot instead of properly shutting down or
quitting to MS-DOS.
NOTE: The Shutdown Supplement was updated 11/99 to address a newly discovered issue that allowed continued shutdown failures on some Windows installations. Due to the added functionality in the update, it may appear on Windows Update as not installed, even if the original version of the Supplement was previously installed.
