Hi,

When I shut the PC, the monitor screen is black with a white flashing
hyphen. That is monitor does not shut off but the computer if off.

I am using Win 98SE.

Once the computer is off, unplug the power from the computer. If you
still have the hyphen, then you have a issue with your monitor.

Or it's White-Out. Oh...no, he said it was flashing. Never mind.

Try turning off the monitor.
Have you checked with the manufacturer or read the manual for your
monitor to see if it is there in purpose?
ie, is it there to show you that the monitor is still turned on?
