  • Shutdown problems suggestions

    Just a quick thanks to all the regular posters to these fori: I've finally gotten my system to shut down on command! There are so many threads dealing with this, maybe matroxusers could post an FAQ, Shutdown Solutions That Work? My course of action was

    First (as suggested many times in these fori):
    Check IRQ
    Disable fast shutdown
    Use msconfig to check what driver is causing problem

    Updated:
    PD Video Tools 1.52.033
    DirectX 7.0a
    Marvel driver 5.41.008

    Tried:
    Re-install, re-install, re-install...
    Fixing vmm32.vxd (per http://www.windows-help.net/techfiles/cmm32.html)
    Windows 98SE shutdown supplement

    What finally worked:
    Tekram mobo BIOS 1.04 (release 3/24/00 to fix shutdown problems)
    VIA AGP402.exe 4X/133 VxD (release 4/24/00)
    Matrox Unified DOS Utilities ver 1.04 (release 8/3/99 to fix shutdown problems)
    Matrox tweakutil.zip (release 4/20/00 to fix shutdown problems)

    Didn't have to do:
    PD registry hack

    My system:
    Tekram P6Pro-A+
    P3-533
    128MB PC133 SDRAM
    Matrox Marvel G400-TV 16MB
    Sony DDU220E/H2 6x/32x DVD
    HP 8250I CD-RW 4x/4x/24x
    IBM Desktar 22GXP 22.0GB U66
    Viewsonic PS790 19 inch-.25mm
    Diamond Monster Sound MX400
    Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 speakers

    Another happy customer!
    Perhaps Jord could included your thread in the FAQ archives?

          Just to make this FAQ complete, and for my own use, where exactly can one find the setting for fast shutdown? I usually shut down ok, but occasionally it will hang.

            Even my Windows98 First Edition hangs now and then, but that's because some program in the background want to continue.

            Maybe a keypress of Alt+CTRL+Delete will help you?

                or SHIFT + CRTL + ALT + DEL

                or is that just 2K?

                  The "Disable Fast Shutdown" checkbox is in the System Configuration Utility of Win98.

                  You can reach the System Config utility either through MS System Info (standard location: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSINFO\MSINFO32.EXE" or just type "MSInfo32" in the "Run" box of the Start Menu) and then look in the "Tools" menu, or you can go directly to it (standard location: "C:\Windows\System\Msconfig.exe", or just type "MSconfig" in the "Run" box on the Start Menu).

                  The "Disable fast shutdown" checkbox is about halfway down on the "General" tab.
