The problem is that the BIOS is probably too old for Win2k and doesn't recognize the "switch off" command. You have to change the driver for your "computer" where it says "Standard PC" to "ACPI compatible PC" or something like that. But CAREFUL!!!! If you have bad luck (like I did when I tried that) after a reboot you will get a blue screen and won't be able to boot Win2k anymore. Then you will probably have to format the hard disk and reinstall Windows. So you should definately make backups of all your important files before you do that if you want to do it all...
This seems to be a relatively common problem though, so it shouldn't be too hard to find some info on that on the web. BTW: This doesn't have anything to do with The Bat, so you will probably get more and better help on a Win2K mailing list/forum/news group...
