Well, I reinstall and I reintall all the patch for windows 2000 (including SP2 and Directx 8a) and everything is OK for the moment. I did like 20 reboot and it seems ok. In my research for this problem, I suspect all these things: 1. Installation of SP2 2. Installation of the patch for AMD Processor (.reg) 3. Using ATA-100 in Win 2k 4. Maybe directx 8 but it work for me 5. it's really a registry corruption and it just a bad luck... I cross my finger for the moment...

Does somebody know something about this error message : STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writeable. I had it and I can't do anything (safe mode boot don't work)... I have: win2k (/w all the patches including SP2) Thunderbird 1333 MB Gigabyte GA-7VTX Maxtor 40G ATA-100 256MB Ram 266 etc... I know this is an old problem from NT3.51,4 and 2000 HELP !!! LongStar

I have 2 answers for this... First install the SP2 of win2k, second upgrade your video drivers (especially NVidia) to the lastest version (12.41 I think) The mouse will never freeze again !

For Moo2 with win2k : If you have problems running Moo2, like you mouse freeze, it's probably because you don't have the lastest drivers of your video card. For my part, I have a GeForce (Nvidia chipset) and my mouse freeze with the version .650. Try to find on Google "detonator 4" and you will probably find a new beta driver .1210, it work like a charm, and Moo2 run well.
