Are you connected to the internet via a cable modem? Some cable modems cause that. If so, try disconnecting the modem from the computer before you shut down. Wait a minute and then shut down.
Solved: cannot shut down my PC
It used to be OK before, I cannot even remind myself any changes that might've happened to cause this problem now. It's thought to be simple:
start menu>close>shut down the system.
As simple as that. But then everything disappears like it's being closed and after quite a few seconds (it used to be faster) a message 'your system is being closed' occures but nothing happens after. rebooting and trying again don't help at all. the only way to shut my PC (I'm using Win98 by the way) is to press and hold on/off button on my PC tower when this stated message occures.
no idea how to sort it out...
