Hello,
This is from the MS Knowledge Base > How to Troubleshoot Windows 95
Shutdown Problems (Article ID: Q145926)
http://premium.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q145/9/26.asp
If Windows 95 still hangs during the shutdown process, examine the
Bootlog.txt file for "Terminate=" entries. These entries are located at the
end of the file and may provide clues as to the cause of the problem.
Each "Terminate=" entry should have a matching "EndTerminate=" entry on a
successful shutdown. If the last line in the Bootlog.txt file is
"EndTerminate=KERNEL," Windows 95 shut down successfully. If the last line
in the Bootlog.txt file is one of the following entries, check the listed
possible cause:
Last line Possible cause
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminate=Query Drivers Possible QEMM or other memory manager
issue.
Terminate=Unload Network Possible conflict with real-mode network
driver in the Config.sys file.
Terminate=Reset Display Disable video shadowing. You may also
need an updated video driver.
Terminate=RIT Possible timer-related problems with the
sound card or an old mouse driver.
Terminate=Win32 Problem with a 32-bit program blocking
a thread. Possibly Microsoft Visual C
for Windows.
Hope this helps,
Tom Dillon
