Hey all,
I installed Win2k a month or two ago and it worked fine.
But now it freezes when I go to run from the start menu or start word or internet explorer.
It works again if I make a new user profile and log in with that but the problem restarts after I reboot.
Could someone plz help?
My comps details are as follows:

Dell Dimension L667r
Pentium 3 667mhz
192MB SDRAM
15GB HDD
Win2k Pro SP3
Integrated video
SB Vibra 128 sound card

BTW, when I installed it, i did a clean install but it did not format my hd.
it converted it to NTFS and I deleted my old Windows ME system folder (installed 2k in a different folder). Might that have anything to do with it?

PS. Dont mail me in that address,
I never check it.

UPDATE:

I checked my event log...

DCOM got error "The executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement the service. " attempting to start the service EventSystem with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{1BE1F766-5536-11D1-B726-00C04FB926AF}

That error comes up about 1000 times (seriously) i also have zonealarm installed if dat makes a difference.
I heard it f***s things up pretty bad
