You probably have some corrupted files or corrupted registry. Go to Start, run, type
sfc /scannow ,click OK. Insert your W2K CD. The program will check for corrupted
files and reinstall them. Unfortunately it does not provide a report. If that does
not work then try repair using the Win2K CD. You will need to change the booting
order of your computer. When you start up your computer, press the Delete key (sometimes
it is F2 or F5) and a BIOS screen will appear. There you will be able to change the
booting sequence to CDROM being first. Save and reboot. Watch closely as "Boot from
CDROM" will come up quickly and allow you no more than 5 seconds to "Hit the key
to Boot from CDROM". When you hit a key it will boot from the Win2k CD. The CD will
load files which takes a minute or two. Then, choices appear as Install, Repair etc.
Choose Repair. It will ask you for Manual or Fast. Try the fast one 1st and if that
doesn't work try the 2nd one. 2nd one,,,Reboot with win2k cd select install it will
ask you if you want to try to repair the win2k you have on the machine select YES....Note:
It will NOT overwrite you data files just put down new OS systems files.. When it
is finished, while rebooting, change the sequence back to the original one, save
and proceed. It should work. If you are new to this, I suggest that you jot down
on paper what you are doing, so that you can retrace your steps.
