E-Machine Shut Down Problem

[bbseim]

I picked up an e-machine 433i (thanks to a hot deal found here.. ) last January. All has been well, gets used a fair amount, nothing hardcore though. Wife uses it, no gaming or anything. Anyway, when she goes to shut it down, and selects Shut Down Computer, the darned thing reboots.. never shuts off.. I'm thinking it may be a power supply issue.. seems a little loud, going to clean it over th weekend, just wondering if anyone else has seen/heard/experienced this condition.. e-machine website sux for technical stuff... thanks in advance!

If you have windows 98se then go to microsofts site and download their patch and that should fix it. I don't know what the name of the patch it but if you're resourceful you should be able to find the right one to download. If after you've downloaded the patch the system still reboots instead of shutting down then I don't know what to tell you. My cousin was having the exact same problem and the patch worked for him, so I'm hoping it will work for you too.

I had the same problem. Until about 10 minutes ago(thanks again cougar). I think the name of the patch is "win 98 se mapped drives shutdown update".
