Dale,
  As I recall, in Windows 98 the temp files can kill you. Also, if there
is much fragmentation it will take Windows a while to clean up the mess
and find places for everything. How much hard disk do you have available
and how much memory are you running? CYS...

I have that trouble sometimes, more at work than here and it seems it
might be related to the network but I am not sure. It is a Jaws related
issue in that it is not obvious in Jaws just what programme is always
doing this, sometimes I know it is Windows Explorer which I never use
but my part-time assistant I think uses a lot. Other times I don't know
what is doing it. On this machine at home Win98  it often hangs a very
long time before closing down. At work there is a Claritel Gateway
application which runs the I P telephone which, if not closed first will
hand the machine, possibly for ever but certainly over a week-end.

There is probably something running, maybe a connection thread to AOL
which is not releasing control.

I'm using Windows 98 SE. However, It would seem that I am experienceing
a problem that I've never had before. This happens when I get off AOL
(America
Online) I go to start, shutdown, and make sure my focus is on the shut
down radio
button. However, after pressing enter, My machine   sitts for about 20
seconds
or so, then I reseev the folowing error message.
"Dialog. This program is not responding. It may be busy, waighting for a
responss from you, or it may have stopt running. To close this program
ameidentaly, click end task. You will loos any unsaved information in
this program."

When I click end task, my system powers off, however
this dialog shouldn't even be showing up on my system in the first
place. Must be the program that tells Windows to shut down, because JAWS
still functions enough for me to  end task. However, I am concerned as
to what's up. If anyone has ever encountered problems asociated with
shuttingdown Windows, e-mail me off list, as this topic is getting off
focus.
