Hi

I am having trouble with my windows 98 S/e. It starts up just fine, but when I either restart or shut down, it goes to the black screen and stays there, will not do anything else. I can leave it there for hours and nothing will happen. I have not, to my best knowledge did anything or added any new things to my computer, I have tried reinstalling windows a couple of times with no change. When I am installing windows, and it uses the restart it works ok. Any help will be appreciated, it looks like there are a lot of brains on here, so I know I will get some good answers. This just seemed to start all of a sudden, one day it was ok the next day it started. ;) All my settings seem to be like they have always been, have not changed anything there either. One thing I have noticed is it will not go into the sleep mode like it used to, I had it set to shut down after 15 minutes.

Take care.......Dick:confused:

Hi Dick, welcome to the PC Mech forums.
