Safe to turn off computer

WIN:98se when in shut down mode the screen "It is safe to turn off computer" is no longer being displayed. Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thank You.....Den Matura...........................

 

Hi Dennis, Do you have a file logos.sys on your root hard drive ?
If not, let us know. If yes, in which folder is it and on which drive ?
If you shut off the PC without seeing the shutdown screen, do you
have problems at the next boot-up ? That may tell us if
1. the logos.sys is not present, OR
2. you have other shutdown problems
regards

 

Safe to shut Off

Found logos.sys fie in C:\WINDOWS. If I wait for 10 seconds or so after seeing the "windows is shutting Down" logo and then turn off the computer there is no problem with the next boot. Such as scandisk running or a boot up into safe mode. The power switch is a SPST ON/OFF switch and not a momentary on/off switch as in newer computers and so therefore MUST be manually pushed to go into power off. The logo "It is now safe to turn off your computer" never shows up.

 

Have you also got the file logow.sys - this is the "waiting to shut down "
logo ?
regards

 

Waiting to shut-down

Yes I do have "logow.sys" location: C;\WINDOWS

 

It may be worth your while to work your way through this list?

 

Okay to turn off your computer

Decided to replace the existing "logow.sys file with file off another WIN:98se unit and all is OKAY now! Sure do want to thank ALL of YOU fer your help in this matter and printed all the suggestions fer when this happens again and 'am sure it will...Thanks Again...Den........................
