Well, the simple answer is that you have a service or TSR in the background
that Windows cannot shut down properly.
The hard part is finding it.
See if you can do a ctrl-alt-del and bring up the task manager when it
happens. Look at the processes and see what is still there. It's likely
that one of them is the culprit.
I didn't see the operating system mentioned, but if it's Windows 98se, there
is a design flaw in that OS that can make this nearly impossible to fix.
Microsoft never did fix it properly and it can be triggered by just about
anything.
