This is with the assumption that you are running Win98 or Win98SE. No psychics here ... just techs.

It's perfectly normal for the Config.sys not to have any entries in Win98, if you don't have any hardware devices that need a 16-bit driver loaded during the boot. That doesn't have anything to do with the computer hanging at the shutdown screen.

One thing to try is to right click on My computer and choose properties. Choose the preformance tab. Click the graphics button and drop hardware acceleration down a notch.
