Hello,
I've got a weird problem:
When upgrading a printer-driver (FinePrint), my system objected, because
a program still used one of the files. Nevertheless, the install-process
went on.
Afterwards, however, I could not access "system/printer" anymore.
When I tried to re-install Windows2k (which I have been running for
years without major problems), it asked whether I wanted to repair the
given installation, which I acknowledged.
The setup started ok, but after hardware-detection it hangs in the
installation of network components (please excuse inexact terminology, I
run a German system here and have to translate) for hours.
When I quit and re-boot, it still re-starts setup ad requires the Win2k
CD-ROM.
Even the emergency disk is of not help.
When the system hangs in the unfinished setup, I can access a "DOS"
Window by pressing SHIFT-F10, and I can see, that all my data is still
there.
But I can't get the setup to quit or to have Windows start up far
enough, so I can access the data or even my Nero.
I don't even figure out how the start a full setup (not a repairing
process), because when I re-boot, it starts up automagically.
I have tried pressing F8 and using the "secured mode" whith and without
networking-drivers, but everything is still the same.
Any hints anyone?
Thanks in advance
