I have a dell poweredge 2200 server with NT 40. I just updated the bios to Version A07. I rebooted and everything was fine. Now I installed Pc anywhere 11.0. It installed fine and said I need to reboot to complete the installation. I click ok and it reboots. The server is booting up, loading nt loader, then the screen goes blue (not the death screen) and says MS windows NT version 4.0 sp6 1 system processor. Now at this point a few periods in a row should slowly appear then The win nt screen shows. well I get a few periods and then the system reboots. It is stuck in this loop... Help

Use the Last Known Dood Configuration option while the "MS Windows NT Version 4.0 sp6 1 system processor." is appearing while booting by pressing "SPACE BAR". This will boot the system in the prvious configuration than before you installed pcANYWHERE. Uninstall the same and install the same by following the steps proeprly.

May be pcANYWHERE was not installed properly the last time it was installed.

When the message press spacebar to boot last known good comes up. I press spacebar and my only option is original configuration. I choose this and the same thing is happening..

When you get the screen press "l" (i.e after you press "SPACE BAR") and then Enter. This will make your system/server to boot to the Last Known Good Configuration. This is mentioned on the Screen.

Are you pressing the "Enter" Key after pressing the "l" key. Then only the system will proceed and boot in the LKGC mode. Everything is mentioned on the screen. :)

The last know good configuration option is not working how you are saying. I am familiar with this screen. I am pressing enter. I can only boot to original configuration. I give up, time for fresh install..

Pressing the "l" does nothing. I only have the option for original configuration. Nothing else on this screen. At the bottom it will say press "l" but it does nothing. Selecting original configuration is the only way to get off this screen..
