It is problem of some Windows configuration, see:

INFO: ExitWindowsEx() Does Not Shut Down or Restart Win 95/98/Me
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;220706

HOWTO: Programmatically Force Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me to Log Off
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;216638

Really Microsof doesn't give prescription how to be.
So solution is absent.

I remember that I did shutdown another way via Scriptable

it also may not work in your cases:

Using Shell objects for invoking Start Menu items and dialogs.
