Not sure, I've got the same card, and my computer certainly boots Win 2K fine when the card is inserted. However, I have had a number of problems with the Win 2K drivers - so many in fact that the card has been relegated to the bottom drawer in my desk.
 
Sorry this isn't too much help, maybe if yuou reformat and reinstall Win2K you might get the system to work - also ensure that plug and play os is set to no in your bios.
 
BTW - My system spects - just to give you a list of components for a system that works with the card:
 
Athlon 800
Abit KA7
256MB PC133 Crucial RAM
Matrox G400MAX
Soundblaster Live Platinum 5.1
Adaptec 29160 Ultra Scsi Card
Realtek 10MB NIC
Creative DXR3 DVD decoder
IBM Ultrastar 18GB Ultra SCSI 160 Hard Drive
Quantum 9.1GB Atlas III Ultra SCSI
