Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone know how to make the W2K display a list of drivers being loaded during startup up.

After the loading bar on the bottom of the black screen finishes, the Windows loading screen comes up. When the progress bar reaches exactly halfway, the OS pauses for ~3 minutes. Then it'll continue loading without any errors or warnings. I would like to see which files it's processing when the pause occurs.

Thanks

Question, do you have DSL service? Aside from your system needing to be upgraded I have DSL server (for my home) and I needed to assign a non routeable IP address to the NIC. If W2K see a NIC installed then it tries to find a IP address and it will try, and try and try. Try a address of 192.xxx.xxx.xxx with subnet of 255.255.255.0
