tanstfl was right, and so was I in a manner of speaking. I recalled when right that post that there was a "trick" to fixing the start-up by using the last known good configuration.

In the case of W2K the "trick" is to type an "L" instead of using the last config. Then <enter>.

Started right up, thanks to the Dell Tech. It must have taken them the entire twenty minutes just to find a tech familiar with that problem, which was something like,

IRQL_LAST_NOT_EQUAL_OR_LESS

Which evidently is W2K's version of a Fatal Exception.

He figures, as do I, that the program "Windows Bug" caused it and fouled my Registry. So if you are tempted to use that program be careful.

Another night shot to Hell thanks to Windows. Have to catch up on my work, see you later.
