I have an A7N8X-X m/b with a PCI graphics card, a Matrox Millennium.
When I shutdown Windows 2000 + sp3 I get a memory dump and a reference
to agp.sys. The message stays on screen unless W2k is set to reboot on
errors.

If I put in an AGP card there's no such error and Windows shuts down
properly.

SuSE Linux shuts down properly whatever graphics card I install.

I've tried disabling the reference to AGP in the BIOS.

Any ideas as to how to fix this annoying problem, other than ditching
the MM?

Thanks,

Did you try reinstalling windows with your agp card in? Or use a registry
cleaner to make sure there's no reference to your agp card in it?I would try
2 things, the easiest first. Make sure there's no reference to your agp card
in the registry, win.ini, sys.ini etc.... if that doesn't work, try a clean
install of windows 2k....... this is assuming of course that you installed
windows with the agp card in first then switched to your pci card... good
luck
