This is on a PII Gateway2000 w/WIn2k. It boots ok to the
point where it's just about to ask for user/pw when very quicky
an error message of some kind flashes at the top of the
screen and the pc reboots, and does it again and again almost
like a loop it keeps rebooting itself. I can't read the error
meaasge and I can't pause, it does this error message way
past the bios screen deep into win2k's boot. Any ideas?

Sound like an infection?

Thanks,
Lee G.

NO, sounds like a BSOD with windows set to reboot on error. Try
safemode.
