    -------------------------<br>
    The information in this article applies to:<br>
    <br>
    Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional <br>
    Microsoft Windows 2000 Server <br>
    Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server<br>
    <br>
    -------------------------<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    SYMPTOMS<br>
    A Windows 2000-based computer may stop responding (hang) when you use an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) program... &lt;cut&gt; (blah blah blah)<br>
    <br>
    This problem is known to occur on computers with AMD Athlon processors. This issue is not specific to any particular video adapter type. <br>
    <br>
    CAUSE<br>
    This behavior can occur if memory that is allocated by the video adapter driver is being corrupted. <br>
    <br>
    RESOLUTION<br>
    <br>
    The following workaround for this issue prevents Memory Manager from using the processor's Page Size Extension feature and may affect the performance of some programs, depending on the paging behavior. This registry value also limits non-paged pool to a maximum of 128 megabytes (MB) instead of 256 MB. <br>
    <br>
    Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).<br>
    <br>
    Locate and click the following key in the registry:<br>
    <br>
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management<br>
    On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:<br>
    <br>
    Value name: LargePageMinimum<br>
    Data type: REG_DWORD<br>
    Radix: Hexadecimal<br>
    Data value: 0xffffffff <br>
    Quit Registry Editor.<br>
    <br>
    Restart the computer.
