Windows startup

Refer to this link below, which gives details on how to use msconfig on Win2K. Haven't tried this myself, hope this works for you.

CAUSE
This behavior can occur if a null, incomplete, or damaged entry exists in the registry.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use RegistryEditor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Use Registry Editor to view the following two Windows registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Verify that all the values in thesekeys do not contain any incorrect, incomplete, or null entries (such as "").

Win2000 doesn't have the msconfig utility but it can be downloaded and installed on a Win2000 computer at this link:

In Windows 2k the MSConfig utility was replaced by the msinfo32 utility run from the same place. In this you will find what programs and services start on windows startup. If you recieve an error with a specific file name, you can search for this in the utility. The only trick is that then you have to switch the view to advanced mode and get the registry key for the faulty program. After this you can search the registry for the key and delete the faulty key.
