Upset Windowsw 2000 User

Would anyone else happen to know or gone through the same
issue I am about to explain? If so, please get in contact
with me A.S.A.P. at (e-mail address removed)

On the Windows website, I downloaded a program
called "Windows Automatic Update" and I believe what it
was to do was install current security updates and stuff
like that to your computer automatically. Today, it
finished downloading and it told me to install it to my
computer. I did so and it installed just fine and after
it was finished, like all major downloads, it told me to
restart the computer to complete the installation
process.

As the computer was booting up, the Windows 2000
Professional logo came up, the blue bars at the bottom
loaded and right as the screen was about to flicker to the
username/password feature, a blue screen pops up with two
lines of text. The only words I could make out were
something about the DDL and they the file couldn't be
found or something like that. And the blue screen only
stays up for about 1.3 seconds. After the seconds are
over, it loops itself and continues to reboot itself.

Am I to assume that Microsoft's OWN UPDATE screwed up my
computer? If anyone has technical support, I would be
very greatful.

Like any OS update, the smart user makes a FULL BACKUP before any update.
Without more detailed information, such as which update you installed that
you have failed to provide, absolutely no one is going to be able to help
you and you may have to format and your computer and reinstall the operating
system to restore your system.

Further as this is a peer to peer group no one is going to get in contact
with you by email. You need to go through the newsgroup or *pay* MS for
their support!

I've been fighting bad W2k on a machine that I have to keep working to
cut signs. Been reloading stuff everyday for two weeks. I got that
same widow along the way. I had to reformat the C: drive and start
allover with the W2K disks .. that set of 4 you better have made.
That particular screen is all gone. Now I'm fighting why W2K won't
play with Zip drives 250Mg. Can't seem to find a fix.

You assume correctlly about ms. I have the same situation
except it's a rolling boot attempt, no message.
The reason I fault ms is the same thing occured to me a
year ago on NT4 server. I believe that it's their way to
cull old os's and make you get xp.

Finally unless someone else can suggest a solution we are
screwed.

I'm having the same issue!! I just performed a Windows
Update... My PC is now in a continuous loop... reboot
after reboot... no errors! It won't even boot into safe
mode, won't load last known good config, etc...

I'm still doing some research on this issue... I'll let
you know if I find a solution!... Please let me know, as
well! Thanks!!
