Hi Jeff, I'm glad it worked out for you. Save/bookmark the patch Windows 98 forgets it after a few hundred times. I saved it to a floppy and keep it in my tool kit.

For reasons I can't explain, once I fixed the shut-down problem, the dial-up networking problem was fixed, too. It may be the setting for the IRQ feeder that made the difference, but I don't know enough about all this to know for certain. All I know is that I am now back in business. Again, thanks, I appreciate the help. -- ------------- Jeff Needle jeff.needle@xxxxxxxxxxx jeff.needle@xxxxxxxxxx ~*~*~*~*~ Was this forwarded to you? Want to subscribe?
