Shut down/ Restart Problem
I have an E-Machine, E-Tower 466id with windows 98 on it. when I select start/shutdown/SHUTDOWN, my system just restarts. I can't get it to shutdown without holding the power button in for a few seconds. Anyone know how to correct this?

Hi
I had this exact problem a while back, caused by an install of Norton Anti Virus. Help can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...9&Product=winxp a windows help page which allows you to stop the automatic restarts when a shutdown error occurs. This will make the computer blue screen, displaying the error, a fix for which you can either google or ask here. It might also be worth uninstalling any recently-installed software and trying again.
