Have you tried using the latest VIA 4in1 drivers from http://www.viatech.com ? There was a fix in the latest agp driver for the Det 6.18 drivers and the chipset your motherboard is on. Hope that helps.

Did you do a clean install or a upgrade? IF you just upgrade reinstall HL (and the rest of your software)and go to seeting and select the driver mode you want. Should work, no problems at all using W2k with games.
