Please wait while your computer shuts down - but it doesn't!

I had a working IE4 installation (win95) but decided to install the
Microsoft Outlook 98 beta this weekend - as part of the installation,
the system updated various components of IE4 which needed to be
updated.

When I now do a shutdown, I get the standard message "Please wait
while your computer shuts down" but then the system hangs. This is
irrespective of whether I do a full shutdown or restart.

AAMOI it makes no difference whether I leave existing program windows
open or shut them down manually before doing a shutdown/reboot.

Any thoughts on what I should be looking for to resolve the problem?


Regards

Alan

I looked up past articles on deja-news and it appears that above about
6 networked drives seems to be the cause of this problem with IE4 - a
"net use * /delete" prior to shutdown/reboot seems to be the
workaround.

Try using the shut down button under the ctrl-alt-del screen.
