If you have a network card these thinkpads shut down more reliably in Win 95 if I stopped the card first. This can be done through clicking on the PC Card icon in the task bar tray and the selecting the network card. My problems seem to have went away when I got a newer driver for the megahertz card. I have also found that if you get the "Please wait while your computer shuts down" message and it does not shut down, you can press CTRL-ALT-DEL and when the close program window comes up select shut down. With all its improvements Win 95 is not perfect yet. At our office our main application runs on a IBM Clone using SCO UNIX and it can go for months without needing to be shutdown because software problems. Eventually Windows should get this reliable.
