What are the problems that may occur from an improper shutdown of Windows 95/98?
Improperly shutting down the computer will cause scandisk to run the next time you boot your computer. When the computer is turned back on it will go through scandisk to check for errors on the hard-drive. It checks for errors on the drive because the computer was shutdown in a running state, where programs and files were not closed.Shutting down the computer with programs, files, and other resources running may destroy the data or corrupt the whole system.
