Under normal circumstances, you should only use the power button to turn on the computer or to resume from save-to-disk suspend or standby
mode. To shut down the computer, click the Start button in the Microsoft Windows 98 operating system, and then click Shut Down. If the
computer is hung and the operating system does not respond, press and hold the power button until the system turns off completely (this may take
4 to 8 seconds).
