Win2K it run through it's boot process, loads settings, then just sits with the windows green background. no icons, no task bar, nothing. force shut down, does the same thing. booted in safe mode, same but black screen. i can get the task manager in safe mode, but cannot end any tasks. help thanks

Hi, There are some things to do a) May be Win2k doesn't boot due to a driver incompatibility b) May be there is something corrupted in the registry c) May be you have garbage:spyware, malware, etc... some stuff and anything is freezing your windows. 1) Try to boot with the safe mode 2) If not try to boot with the recovery console with the cd for instance. 3) Read boot log for identifying problems. using disable try to disable drivers that could be trobleshooting the system Microsof has a set of floppyes that repair the registry... download and do a repair.
