I have a strange problem with my WIN2000 install. Windows will not complete the boot process, as the furthers that it gets is to the "Logon" screen/box. After logging on, the WIN 2000 sound comes on but the Windows screen stays blank with only the background color, no icons. After about 28 seconds the "save settings" box appears and it stays on for about 13 seconds, then the "Logon" screen/box reappears.
I tried booting in various modes, including the "safe mode" but with stuck in a similar loop. Tried enabling the “bootlog” but can't seem to locate the file. The last time I encountered a similar problem, was after I updated with SP1. And, interesting enough on this particular WIN 2000 install I had recently installed Office 10 beta and then later uninstalled it. It was working fine after the uninstall, and reinstallation of Office 2000. The system was working flawlessly since the fresh installation in August 2000.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
