re: agp440.sys Tuesday, July 22, 2003 at 6:55 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mbioman (2 messages posted) Disabling the agp440.sys may not be necessary. I found that my computer had an older Bios installed (Dells A03). Once I upgraded my Bios to Dell's A14, their latest update, windows 2000 worked flawlessly as did XP. I am not sure if this willl hold true for other computer systems, but for dell's this should work. The older bios did not allow ACPI, which 2000 and XP require.
