win 2k wont even start up the desktop after anyone logs in, it reeboots,

lucky its on dual boot with win 98, plus neither (supposedly the)Direct X graphics or any sound at all works, these has been problems since 3 months ago,

I can only play the x files game, and Not even my mega PC literate dad can work this 1 out! I am getting a new Motherboard like AGP66Mhz is, & a thunderbird with it too...

And yes all my antivirus and critical updates, and direct ex and drivers are up to date too...

I miss Playing Carmageddon and RA2, and Quake and Doom, oh and the sims...

Oh well 2 months till i can afford to do that, i havent even had time to fix my glasses yet, actaully i work to much on my web site stuff and site ideas to do that, gah... must...slee-zzzzz...laterzzzzz

Have you installed any hardware before the problems startet? Cause this sounds like a irq or resource conflict. I had smilar problems some time ago with win98 after i installed a network card(ie. win rebootet everytime it loaded the desktop). The prob in my system was that the networkcard tryed to use resources that where used by my MB so I had to manually assing irq and resources. So if you have installed any new hardware start win in safemode and disable it. Then start up normaly and configure it manually, then enable it again.

I installed no additional hardware after installing win 2000, but i installed Quake III on Windows 2000, and it worked great for a week, then i wouldnt work, but using Quake III on Windows 98 was not possible.

I know Quke 3 works on my system. It worked fine before windows 2000 was installed. Thats when it all went horribly wrong.

I coudn't even do a hard drive seach in windows 98 the other day, the system crashed, and it was the only thing running, not even a background app was running at the time. Crazee

anyway, In ten minutes, while i am at college, there will be ADSL installed in the house I live in, and I am gonna use the spare hard drive, which is the same size as my cureewnt drive, if not Bigger...haha! Now I am going to have 2 hard drives, ADSL, A Carmageddon TDR FreeForAll Server, and sometime later, a 900Mhz AMD TBird, hoohar!
