Dear mharris, After several days of checking all options (including trying to get another AGP card to work - but it was the wrong slot style), I finally found that the BIOS parameters were set incorrectly - and not just for AGP. I admit - I had assumed the BIOS was correct, because the machine had been working without problems for 2 years. So, currently, since correcting the BIOS, I had not had a problem. I think you can close this bug. Thanks anyway, John.
Ok, closing bug NOTABUG. Thanks for the update.
