Hi,
We have a win2k box that needs to have the incorrect date
i.e. 1983 for 2003. This is because the arcnet network it
serves is not y2k compatible. This is no problem for us
but win2k is complaining when it boots and you have to
press ok to continue. Is there any way to stop this asking
or telling me the date is incorrect and waiting to boot?
Thanks Robert
 
To change the way Windows NT handles hard error messages, you can run
Regedt32.exe and set the Reg_Dword value of
"ErrorMode"=dword:00000000
found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows
as follows;

0 = Errors are serialized and wait for a response. (default)
1 = If the error does not come from the system, then the system continues in
normal operating mode. If the error comes from the system, then it is
written to the system log; no user intervention is required and dialog boxes
are not displayed.
2 = The error is written to the system log; the dialog box is not displayed.
