win2k pro boot problem

Recommended Posts

I have win2k pro and I recently installed a driver for my printer and restarted my computer. Now all I get is a plain blue screen with no text and my computer won't respond to keyboard or mouse commands. I tried booting in safe mode but all I get is "safe mode" in all 4 corners on a black screen. I tried last know good config and I get the plain blue screen again. I do not have any win2k pro disk of any kind. Please Help!

Thanks Alecstaar. But I don't have any windows 2000 cd of any kind. Do you know where I can get one?

Hope you werent trying to install an NT 4 driver onto your 2K machine. The printer subsystem has been completely rewritten and GENERALLY the 3rd party NT 4 only drivers will hose your machine.

If you need to boot your machine to a working state and see if you can manipulate the printer drivers, try this

(I am assuming you have windows XP)

If this is an OEM machine (DELL, Gateway, etc), do you have recovery CDs?
