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
