Service Pack 6 Created Startup Problem

[Guest]

I downloaded SP6 yesterday onto the Windows 2000 Professional workstation. When I restarted Windows, I received an error message indicated that it could not find an "initiation point" ASN1_Encode in the file MSASN1.dll. It then advised me the system would be shut down and restarted in 60 seconds. This occurred several times, and now the startup process is in a perpetual loop

I believe I am to the point of needing to use the CD to repair the Windows 2000 installation, or just reload Windows 2000

Anyone else have this problem recently?

I thought we were only at SP4. Did you perhaps apply NT4SP6 on a Win2000 PC?

There is NO Service Pack 6 for Windows 2000. The current SP is SP4. Exactly
what did you install on your workstation and where did you get it?
