The problem is: My routine Windows 2000 boot up was taking about 3-4
mintues with NO problem.

Today i made a big mistake by installing Visual Studio 6. I installed
and after reboot, my Windows 2000 did not opened and hanged at
"starting windows" then hanged at "Account password prompt".

The error message is: "The system cannot log you on now because the
domain is not available".

What should i do?

You need to tell us if your system is connected to a Windows
domain (which is usually the case in an Office environment) or
if it is (and has always been) a stand-alone PC.
 
Obviously the computer is part of a domain. Being part of a workgroup he
wouldn't get that message.
A quick fix would be to unplug the network cable and then try to login.
You might have to rejoin the domain. Ask your help desk or system admin.

No, i'm never connected to a domain and always use "workgroups". Even
unplugging network cable did not help. So i had to re-install Windows
with lots of headaches.

Big clue: This problem happened after answering "yes" to question of
"overwrite existing files" during Visual Studio/Basic 6 installation
for the files which are located under SYSTEM or SYSTEM32.

So, using VS6 under Win2k impossible or not to prompt "overwrite" is a
solution?

Thank you for the replies.
