I start Windows 2000 and it loads up to the Professional 2000 page, then it hangs there and doesn't move. I also tried safe mode and the same thing. Even original configuration too...I installed Easy CD creator 5.0 and I know it is the problem. How do I get into the computer to delete those files????
 
Try this:
- Boot with your Win2000 CD
- Select "Repair" when prompted
- Select "Command Console" when prompted
- Enter the Administrator's password
- Navigate to c:\winnt\system32\config
- Rename "System" to "System.bad"
- Rename "System.alt" to "System"
- Type "Exit"

I'm afraid not. If you have a legal installation of Win2000 then
you are entitled to having a Win2000 CD. Ask the person who
installed it for you to do the right then and give you the CD.
 
I have the same problem; I tried your solution (see below)
and I'm stil NOT able to boot my cmputer anyhow, no Safe
Mode, No Last Known Configuration, nothing from the F8 menu.

Where can I see some sort of log files, where I can exactly
determine where the computer hangs and why?

Please, reply to my email address.

Thank you very much.

Editing your boot.ini file (provided you have access to it ... you may have
to use a boot disk) to incorporate /bootlog and /sos options may help your
troubleshooting.

From the recovery console you can enable/disable drivers/services.

DISABLE:
DISABLE servicename
The DISABLE command disables a Windows 2000 system service or driver.
servicename: The name of the service or driver to be disabled. Use the
LISTSVC command to display all eligible services or drivers to disable.
DISABLE
prints the old start_type of the service before resetting it to
SERVICE_DISABLED.

Because of this, you should record the old start_type, in case it is
necessary to re-enable the service.

The start_type values that the DISABLE command displays:

SERVICE_DISABLED

SERVICE_BOOT_START

SERVICE_SYSTEM_START

SERVICE_AUTO_START

SERVICE_DEMAND_START
