Hi My question is: During the shut down of Win2k my machine does not completely shut off. The last thing it does is what an old Win95 machine used to do that is: "It is now safe to shut off".....I have looked in the bios and changed some things but when I get to that screen I still have to press the off/on button. Is there anyway to get this mobo/bios to just shutdown and off.

I have the same board but have never encountered that prob...but I'm running WinME. BTW, it has the KT133E chipset, not the KT133. Have you updated your BIOS?

I figured out that it was a bios / windows thing. During the initial install of windows, the OS decides whether the properties of the computer are "a standard computer" or a "ACPI uniproccessor PC". I changed this in Device Manager and it made my system unbootable. I repaired the system but then other programs were not working. Anyway by this being a new computer, I realize I should have checked the bios and enabled this from the start. The new install of Win2k went great and when I click shutdown it in fact does it without having to press the power button like the older MOBO's due.
