After installing Win2K and some other applications, the power off button on the machine will not work. The BIOS has been checked and it works if we install Win9x or NT. Would any applications cause this problem or is it in Win2K itself.

It is not up to the applications, it depends on what power management subsystem your OS installed (ACPI or APM). Check the Power Options in the Control Panel, you have a the second tab: Advanced, the option at the bottom of the window decide what will happen when you press the Power button (works only with ATX power supplies, obviously)
