2000 Won't Load
Sep 15, 2007
I have a problem with Windows 2000. For some reason it won't load up. It gets to the login and loading prefrerences boxes, but after that there's just a blue screen. I've tried booting in safe mode. That just leads me to a black screen with "safe mode" in the four corners. I tried booting in the last known good configuration and it goes through the same process only now a message pops up in symbols. Also, when I hit [ctrl][alt][delete] everything is clickable except for task manager. That was also the case the last time I was in windows. I have absolutely no Idea what to do.

The computer is slow to load windows 2000. Takes several mintues to connect to the net. Message showing that "Virtual Memory is low". Have gone into "My computer" - then "advanced options" and increased virtual memory to 1500. There is a good amount of space on the disc. But actions made no difference and still get the message that the virtual memory is low. Speed of computer not improved.Will try "System restore".

First my computer was cutting off in the middle of any program. I decided to delete everything on the drive and reformat it and reload windows xp. While trying to load windows xp it would load the set up but when going to load files it locked up everytime. I tried also loading windows 98, 95 and they too locked up. At one point it said I had a virus in my boot sector and at another time it said I had a virus in my RAM. I got a program called PC Beginner to help partition my drive and redo the MBR. I can partition the drive and format it but windows still doesn't load. Now I wonder if there is a problem with the mother board and I have a dual bios board, I was wonder if there is a program loaded in the dual bios that may somehow causing my problem. If so what can be done to clear the problem? How can I get windows reloaded?

Im installing a brand new pc and I just downloaded all the latest fixes and patches for the OS and the Browser.except one, KB890923. Everytime I try to launch through Windows Update it says it cant do it. SO I attempted to download and run it manually and it states that the program is not a valid Win32 application.

Am I right in thinking that they are both pretty similar except that server has support for multiple processors and extra network related tools and facilities. The reason I ask is that if a piece of software works on Windows 2000 server, is it extremely likely that it will work on Windows 2000 professional too? As a bit of background information: I work for a small company which supplies temperature monitoring equipment which needs to be networked. I've been told that it has been tested on Windows 2000 server but not on Window 2000 professional.

1. My desktop remains blank without any icons.
2. clt+alt+del shows all choices except task manager - so I am allowed to reboot and shutdown
3. When I enter in safe mode cannot see desktop nor icons
4. Ran Norton Antivirus 2007 boot with CD - no virus found
5.Prior to crash desktop went RED, hence I rebooted and then the issues.

PC was rebooted and this message showed up. I couldn't get to safe mode so I put the XP disc in. I got to the D:winint dir and tried to run bootcfg to scan for the boot file. It came back that it couldn't find it. I was able to see the dir's and data on the 2 drives. I ran chkdsk to see if that would solve the problem, it didn't. Do you think this is a BIOS problem or a missing boot problem. If it was the BIOS would I be able to read the drive. Looking for a fix without destroying everything.

My computer randomly started displaying this error upon start up a week ago and I have no clue what is causing it. I googled it and seen that it could be caused by a linksys wireless router, one was installed on the system before, but has been uninstalled for quite some time now. Can anyone help me correct this or at least help me figure out what is causing it?

I was wondering what the difference was whether you had a program load at startup (by checking a box within the program to have it load when the computer boots) and unchecking that box but moving a shortcut to the programs executable into the startup folder on the start menu.
Is there any difference?

This problem started awhile back, I reformatted and still have the same problem. I can't get any Windows updates through firefox and IE refuses to open. I have reset my activex controls, ran AVG and Adaware. Nothing comes up. My ISP is wmconnect which just recently changed to Netscape connect. they have no technical support for this problem. If anyone has any ideas. My OS is Windows 2000 Pro.

I have a computer with Windows 2000 Pro on it and I wanted to upgrade it to Windows XP Pro using an unused Windows XP Pro CD/license (Version 2002, it says) I have. However, when I stuck in the CD and selected "Install XP Pro," it told me "Windows XP Setup does not support upgrading from Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional to Microsoft Windows XP Professional."
So it will only let me do a clean install. Is this because I have an OEM CD meant for a new computer? I thought you could upgrade (rather than re-install) to XP from any genuine XP CD?

I'm going to upgrade from 2000 to XP w/SP3 and was wondering about "backing up files". I don't really have much, but I'm mostly concerned about program files (I can't remember which ones I've installed myself)...
I'm also considering "unpartitioning" and starting over because I bought the pc "used" and it has partitions all over the place.

I need to upgrade over 200 PC from 2000 to XP. Some are desktops and some are laptops. I need to do it with very little input from the users. I was thinking of using a email sent out that would ask them to do it at lunch or other sometime. I figure that it will take at least an hour to do the install etc, with no error. I plan on a test group to start with before I roll it out company wide.

I have an HP Lap top with Windows 2000 Pro on it. When booting up, the computer will go through all its normal start-up procedures. When it comes time for the Username/Password, I put them in, I hear the wave sound for windows loading, and then it freezes! The hour glass cursor remains on the screen and moves, only NOTHING happens from there on.
However,I can get it to boot normally after this by shutting it down.... then going into the Bios Set-up screen.....Change NOTHING & simply exit out of the Bios Set-up......THEN it will start normally and bring up the Desktop! BUT....if I shut it down again, It will freeze right after the Log-in just like before. Im tired of always having to go into the Bios to get this darn thing to work

For the last couple of weeks l heard a cry come from my IBM thinkpad 600x, "USA", l laughed. This went on for a while until last week when l turned on my computer it was opening at the speed of a snail, maybe slower.today when l turned the computer on it was starting real slow until the screen said it was checking my password and then stopped cold. Now it doesn't do anything but say IBM Thinkpad.I bought my laptop on ebay from an IBM reseller who preinstalled the windows 2000 and on the bottom of my computer is a COA from microsoft. If l had the disk l would try and reinstall the program but l do not.I forgot the name of the reseller and they we fantastic to do business with. They helped whenever l had a question and always told me if there was ever aproblem l should just send it back and they would correct it. In fact they are in Atlanta and l had my computer there and l had a problem with the dvd player and when l told them where l was they said come right over and they will get it going. p.s. my son fixed it and l never went over.

I'm trying to upgrade operating systems and I'm getting the message "Incompatible Hard Disk Controller. Setup does not have a driver for a hard disk controller. To continue setup, you need the correct Windows 2000 compatible driver disk." The problem seems to be with my Intel 82371AB/EB IDE controller. Does anyone know if a Windows 2000 driver exists for this and, if, so, where I can get it? Iv'e scoured the Web to no avail.
