Well I think I may have figured it out. I went back to the 1004 bios and reinstalled....everything was good. But I was just erked that I could not have the latest and greatest. I went to the Asus website and found the old Aflash.exe program. I put that on a floppy and then got another copy of 1005. I started the computer up (which is win2k) with a winME bootdisk. I selected command prompt (shift+F5) and then threw in the flash disk. I flashed the bios and restarted. This time I was careful to go straight into the Bios and set everything to the default like it had warned me the first time. (I don't know if this did it or not) Then I restarted, went into the bios again, set it the way I like, restarted and wammo. I am just loving this round with win2k. Everything works and I never have problems!
