After upgrading to Windows Server 2000 from NT, I cannot click on the event viewer status so I can see what is failing, it gives me the list, but if I click on anything within application, system does nothing. Then when I close the event viewer it states that I need to close all property pages that are open. this does that same for the services in administrative tools....

You have a virus.. in the processes tab do you see SVCHOS1.exe or msblaster?

You have the gaobot virus or blaster.

Clean your system.

Did that, no virus, no spyware. Turned out to be a defective Hard drive. Replaced drive and Imaged data from old drive to new and everything works. Thanks
