Hi everyone, my friend is having trouble with his PC, and I'm helping him out, by posting this topic - hope he gets some help, thanks!
This is what he says:

When I choose "shutdown" it closes Win98 but it doesn't shut down the power automaticly. So I have to switch it off at the back manually. When Win98 is loading, sometimes it just stops so I have to reboot my PC. Sometimes also at startup, I get the message "no primary or secondary disk found" Hmm, my disks are still inside and connected. A reboot helps. So the weirdest things happen.


Thanks for helping,

- Shawn

Two things might be causing this:

You might have bios configured wrong

There may be a loose connection somewhere in you PC

It sounds as if you don't have APM enabled. I can't remember how you enable it, I think its under control panel somewhere.

When I choose "shutdown" it closes Win98 but it doesn't shut down the power automaticly.

What year is the PC? Is the power supply AT or ATX? Note: automatic power shutdown will only happen on ATX power supply. If it's ATX and it won't do the autmoatic power shut down, then check your BIOS ...

cheers,
:beer:

Thanks guys ;) He'll read the posts soon, I'll post the answers to everyones' questions when he gives me them :)

Thanks

Hey guys, my friend gave me this message to post:

Fact is that I've got the problem since I upgraded from Win98 to Win98 SE. And yes, I've got ATX. It worked before with Win98. Can you ask where I in my BIOS I can check those settings?


If you could help him out, we'd appreciate it! ;)
