I am having huge problems with win2k - I installed it on ntfs formated drive and everything works - until I turn it off. Then on start up I get error (missing winnt/system32/config/*) and blue screen - I cant proceed, or do anything but reinstall the whole thing since it doesnt work in safe mode either (I tried safe mode, and everything else) - I have gold cd version.
Should I install drivers in safe mode or something? I had to f@ reinstall the damn thing 8 times so far, but then again it run fine for a week (until I turned it off
unlike my win98 which needs restart every 4 hours. Please help - I mean should the installation of NT drivers corrupt win2k? (last time I installed v3 drivers, epson & canon instalation programs for NT)...error there?. thanks...

Rule Number one of trouble shooting
Do ONE thing at a time. Do not install NT v3 drivers
Get Win2k drivers from my web page http://seldzar.dhs.org
aside from that One thing at a time, then reboot. then the next one then reboot....etc...etc.. It is one of those devices you isntalled that are causing it.

OP
problem number one: it happened 7-8 times with different rebots and I cant see any connection
problem number two: I hosted win2k v3 developers drivers myself
problem number three: even in safe mode I get "config intialization failed" message and I need to re-install win2k all over again.
And it aint pretty. All of my hardware is recognized and fairly new & brand name, I run win2k previousl for a week or more w/o restarting... as soon as I turned it off, puff, its gone... ideas?
