I have win2k pro and I recently installed a driver for my printer
and restarted my computer and now all I get is a plain blue screen with no text. I tried to boot in safe mode but in safe mode all I get is "safe mode" in all 4 corners on a black screen with no icons. I've tried last known good configuration but still get the plain blue screen. I do not have a win2k pro disk of any kind. Please can anybody help me!

Boot from the Windows 2000 CD, & use the Recovery Console option.

(First of all, so you know ahead of time - You will either have to know, or look for, the name of your printdrivers' .sys file here too in the LISTSVC command once you logon to Recovery Console!)

The LISTSVC command displays all services & drivers you can alter their startup method with.

The DISABLE command allows you to stop them from loading (& most likely what you'll be using)



* Good Luck any other questions, ask here... I may not get to you but someone else may here!
