A while back my machine (running Windows 2000 Server) was
giving me problems, a friend diagnosed that my WIN32K.SYS
file was corrupt and needed to be replaced. I believe he
took this file from another machine running the same OS
and added it to mine. It fixed the problem.

However, ever since this file was replaced, the speed and
efficiency of my software has been cut in half.

Any ideas/solutions to restore my machine to its original
condition???

I think your friend did more than replace Win32k.sys. If that file is
corrupt then Windows will not boot. However you may have some other file
problems. I would run the following.

SFC /purgecache
SFC /scannow

You will need to have your Windows CD available for this. Once it
finishes then reboot the system.

If this does not work then check your system and application event logs
for specific errors and let us know what they show.
