The "Windows is shutting down ..." and "It is safe to ..." images are
held in \Windows\System\logow.sys and \Windows\System\logos.sys,
respectively. (Open with mspaint to examine)
If yours are not there, they can be found in one of the W98se
installation .cab files - net8.cab is the one you want.

If they are present and correct, I'm not sure what to suggest - I know
that the startup logo can be suppressed but the only way I know of
disabling the shut down logos is to remove them.
(This with my 503+ with AT PS, W98se)

I have the same problem with my 503+/AT system. The shutdown fixes
did not "fix" this problem. I don't turn the machine off so it does
not annoy me that I don't see the shutdown screen. I'm using a TNT2U
32meg vid card with my system. Do you have any ACPI IRQ holders in
device manager IRQ list (double click the computer icon in device
manager to see the list). I'm trying to remember why I changed back
to the normal je4333 BIOS, I think it was a printer issue (printer and
parallel port scanner were happy as a lark for a long time, then
installed new printer drivers and a conflict emerged, probably due to
bi-directional operation on the parallel port).

You may need to force a reinstall of all the device drivers (there are
numerous posts on how to do this, one technique is to delete a
registry key, the "enum" key as I recall).
