Can only boot WIN2kpro in Safe Mode

R

Robby

Lately my Win 2K Pro application has strted hanging up at the "Windows
is Starting" message box. I can still boot to Safe Mode, but can no
longer get to Normal mode.

This appears to have begun following an install from Windows Update of
an NVIDIA driver (the problem began to occur sporadically). Last week
I uninstalled Norton AV 2004 and installed Norton Internet Security
2005. The problem began in earnest.

I looked at the event log following my latest abortive attempt to boot
up normally. It is listed below

Need help! anyone can tell me what to do next? I am about to shell
out a minimum $100 to the PMr PC Fixit guy and his VW bug.

You need to uninstall yr Nvidea driver, you should NOT use winupdate for any
drivers.
Use only drivers from the manu. site for yr device, that's if they really
need to be updated.
Now you know why!
