Win98 1st Ed
My Computer hangs when it's trying to shutdown. 
I attempt to shut down from the Start menu and it hangs at the
"Windows is shutting Down" screen. What do I do. I have been having to manually hold the power button in order for the system to shutdown.
MS has a patch for Win98 SE but what about Win98 1st Edition?
Your help is needed-Thanks Crew.

Don't tell co-workers your going for a Cert that they don't have. They may think your trying to take their job.

Since you know that, here's the next logical thing to do:
Boot into DOS
> format C:
Install Win98SEI am free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally. -

yeah but formatting his harddrive would get rid of all his important files right. And I don't think the "It's safe to turn off your computer now" screen is of such an importance as to call for the formatting of the whole disk.
I used to have that problem in a computer I used to use some 5 years ago, and I never worried about it. It had one of those old I/O switches so I just used to turn it off when it hanges on that screen.
