Win 98 restarts instead of shutting down

[tkb]

I'm running win98 and whilst trying to get rid of some modem driver files i also deleted the system file vmm32.vxd - opps!
As i tried to start windows it wouldn't as this file was missing but i managed to get a copy of the file and put it back where it came from. Windows now starts fine but i can't shut it down, it restarts even though shut down is selected!
I've never had any shut down problems before with this machine.
Please help!!
Many thanks in advance.

Go to Start > Run > and type in SFC.
Choose to extract one file, and get vmm32.vxd from your original CD.
A restart should fix it up.

I have the same problem.
When I shut down, it goes thru the motions & then immediately powers up and restarts.
The VMM32.VXD file mentioned above is in my windows\system directory.
Should I delete it and extract it again from the CD?
What else should I look for.

Hi,

It may be worth putting the shutdown shortcut on your desktops and try that rather than the old START / SHUTDOWN.

Checkout the FAQ, it takes you through it step by step, any problems drop me a line via the FAQ.
