In a lot of cases, warm booting by pressing reset doesn't fix the problems and things are still unstable afterwards (especially with Windows 98)  It seems whatever the hardware did to offend Windows, it still maintains that offensive state after a warm boot, so a complete power off and short foot tapping is required to attempt to return things to normal.

I never believed that until I had to do it on a daily basis as work :(
