Well i was haveing some trouble with my gfx, so i uninstalled it, and installed new nvidia drivers from the website. The installation took FOREVER. Then when it asked me to restart my computer i clicked yes. Now when i try to start up it gets past the black and white loader screen but it dosent get past the windows2000 startup page. It dosent freeze or anything, it just goes to 100% and the bar above it keeps slideing. Before this happens my keyboard and mouse do flicker,i dont know if that means anything. Safe mode does the same but stops at the end of the black and white screen. All the other boot modes (ex. Safemode w/ networking, vga, ect.) stop at 100% on the startup page, like when i try and boot normaly. I am in desperate need of help here! Thanks Jonathan W2000 fx5200 amd2000+xp

Try booting from the W2000 CD and select Repair using the Recovery Console. Then type "FIXBOOT" and seleect Enter. Also type "FIXMBR" and Enter. System should boot fine and you can fix or replace your video drivers.

I did both commands and then ran a complete repair. Still didnt work. I just finished making a website and i have a bunch of hard work that i dont want to loose. Please is there any one that can help me!! W2000 fx5200 amd2000+xp

The proper sequence would have been to choose last known good configuration. Then safe mode vga boot only. Fixboot and fixmbr have NOTHING to do with video driver issues. Running them wouldn't hurt your system [unless you multibooted] but it was the wrong path. Running repair put you back to before your updates and service packs. Only suggestion I have is to do a parallel install [choose new install/don't format/ install to winnt2 so as to preserve the original install] This will at least get you access to your data.

You name it, I tried it. Winn 2000 just keeps rebooting.
