I. Release Notes
-----------------
The Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement addresses shutdown issues
on systems with specific hardware/software configurations running Windows 98
Second Edition. These issues include systems restarting when selecting
shutdown and systems hanging on shutdown.
The Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement updates PCI.VXD, APMBATT.SYS
and VPOWERD.VXD. It also updates MSCONFIG.EXE to remove the Fast Shutdown
checkbox. Microsoft has also learned that some customers were replacing the
Windows 98 Second Edition version of CONFIGMG.VXD with the Windows 98 version
to address shutdown issues. This update will check to see if the appropriate
version of CONFIGMG.VXD is installed on the system and replace any older
versions with the Windows 98 Second Edition version.
4756US8.EXE is the November 1999 release of the Microsoft Windows 98
Second Edition Shutdown Update. More information regarding this update
can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q239/8/87.ASP.
