Anotehr APM/Shutdown problem (please don't kill me!)

Ekstreme
OK, here's the story: I had approx 8 devices all sharing IRQ 9, so I switched from ACPI to standard PC (To hopefuly solve my notorious Quake 3A probs with my Vid card). This fixed the IRQ sharing probs, but now my computer won't shutdown.

Given up - need help with AX59pro

Kev
I dunno if anyone's gone over this problem before, and I've read about the ACPI thing, but seeing as you guyz have it on your own HCL I figure somebody must know how to get the AOpen AX59Pro to work under w2k (final build, all updates).
