DOS prompt error when trying to go fullscreen

I've been getting this error for quite a while now when I try to put any DOS prompt windows (command prompt, old DOS games, etc.) into full screen:

"The video device failed to initialize for fullscreen mode."

I'm not sure when it started or what apps I had installed immediately before. I do know that if I go to device manager and show hidden devices, the Non Plug-and-Play Driver called VgaSave has been disabled by W2K and it won't let be enable it. I'm not sure if this is related to the problem though. I have a GeForce2 GTS with the latest drivers, and both W2K service packs. I have tried installing older video drivers too, but with no luck.

Any suggestions?
 
Hehe... never mind....
I just re-installed SP2 and it works fine now.
