It all went to hell last night...

This is a discussion about It all went to hell last night... in the Windows Hardware category; I can't run Win2K for more than 5 minutes now. I think it's the video driver. . . the one that I've been using for weeks now without incident. How can I determine if something got corrupted? Will reinstalling Win2K solve this? *SIGH* Tony.

to check if windows 2000 files have been corrupted run "sfc /scannow" from the command prompt.

Like MSGuy says: run "sfc /scannow" , it's the key to a stable W2k system.

.......the problem with "sfc /scannow" is that you have to be able to get into windows2k to use it. Usaly when somthing goes wrong for me im not even able to go into safe mode, I have to do a clean install
