shutdown/restart problems

This is a discussion about shutdown/restart problems in the Windows Hardware category; i'm running 2486 and when i try to restart (or turn off), this dialog comes up with waiting for DEVLDR to close or something, so i click the End Now button and then it just sits there doing nothing. i have to press the hard reset button and then it does all that check disk stuff when booting.
