"Agp disabled" problem

gringo

Today I got my new system up, 1. 33tbird, asus a7m, visiontek gf3 running under win2k sp2 (clean install). For some reason, it shows agp as being disabled in WCPUID and powerstrip. After I installed win2k, I installed via 4-in-1 4.

shutdown/restart problems

squall19

i'm running 2486 and when i try to restart (or turn off), this dialog comes up with waiting for DEVLDR to close or something, so i click the End Now button and then it just sits there doing nothing. i have to press the hard reset button and then it does all that check disk stuff when booting.

Fixed Joystick disappearing problem

jstewien

I've noticed a few people have had a problem with the Joystick disappearing under Windows 2000. The symptoms typically are that the joystick doesn't work in any games. If you go into control panel->game controllers, the joystick shows up as unknown for about 2 seconds, and then shows OK.

ntfs to fat32

fatlip

ok, this is probably a silly question, but is there a program out there that will convert an ntfs drive back to fat32 without formatting? If not, what formatting program will do this, as there does seem to be anything on the win2k cd to do this conversion.
