i bought a Nvidia Geforce 2 MX400 graphic card and install it into my Duron 700 PC.
Whenever i shutdown my Windows ME system, the screen goes blank, and the system keep on running. My old graphic will just shut down the whole system.
Help is needed.

Update the latest driver for the video card
Open the Control Panel,right-click on Power Management and select Disable
Apply this to Fast Shutdown also
Reboot the system and see if this will help

Definatly sounds like a driver problem. I have that exact video card on one of my systems. Although I havent had that problem, ive had it do other wierd things. After a bit of hunting I did find the correct driver on Download.com. I updated it, rebooted and its now working flawless. Make sure you remove the old driver first (as stated in Soulrider's response). Then run the install file for the new one, after rebooting. Good luck!

I have had this same problem on several systems.

In addition to updated graphics drivers, you might also want to check with the company that manufactured the card. They might have an update to the video BIOS that will correct your problem.

Also, make sure to update your AGP miniport driver for the chipset on your motherboard.
