George Hester said:Well let us know Karen. I don't have much confidence in this application able to help but let us know.
When you say you are at SP4 and cannot run the "repair function" eactly what is that? Do you mean sfc?
You can run it you just need to download the Network install of the Service Pack 4; unpack it to a location
on your harddrive; and point the registry to it.
Ptrint Spooler stopping is probably because it is depending on a service to start that you no longer have
installed. Removed by the uninstall of Norton which it did POORLY. Known problem with Norton
products.

If it doesn't repair the problem(s), at least it may help me to understand

Karen because I have no experience with chkreg I decided it would probably be best to wait and see if you

you have a corrupted registry issue? What do you expect to find? What's the trouble?

I CAN boot the PC. After some initial stop errors (after the NAV uninstall
disaster), I was able to boot to the last know good configuration. I have
access to all my programs, email, etc., so I don't think I am ready to resort
to a total reinstall at this point. It is only the printers that seem to have
been affected. As I have said, this system was totally stable until the
Norton fiasco.
I am not familiar with the "sfc" command so hopefully you will explain what

load windows using the last known good configuration, but ever since then, I
no longer have my 3 printers or fax driver available, and cannot add them
using the wizard. I get an error message that states the print subsystem is
unavailable. Knowledge base articles suggested this was due to the fact that
the spooler service was not started. In fact this was true, but when I start
is manually, it stops again. After checking the Event Viewer, I see that "The
Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly." IE has been very flakey and
I am getting errors, especially when on the microsoft website, which of
course I have been A LOT. And also something about "The master browser has
received a server announcement from the computer MPX449006P that believes
that it is the master browser for the domain on transport
NetBT_Tcpip_{3B0B56F4-F1ED-47D. The master browser is stopping or an election
is being forced." (No idea what this means)
I don't know what happened when the antivirus uninstall program ran, but
that seems to have been the cause of all this. The system had been very
stable for almost three yrs with only the occasional quirk. I don't have a
windows 2k disc with SP4 and cannpt run the repair function from my SP2 disc
on the current OS. Attempting to repair using chkreg seemed like a good idea.
If it doesn't repair the problem(s), at least it may help me to understand
where/what they are.
:
Karen because I have no experience with chkreg I decided it would probably be best to wait and see if you
get a direct answer to your question. That seems to have happened. I am curious exactly why you think
you have a corrupted registry issue? What do you expect to find? What's the trouble?

Hello Karen,
By the time the utility chkreg.exe was published, windows 2000 service pack
4 was not released, thats why SP4 is not included in the document. I
beleive this tool is very much compatible with SP4 too.
Thanks,

I cannot run sfc /scannow from the command line. I get the following error:

1) We will discuss sfc. In the command prompt:

There you will see what it is about. It is s(ystem)f(ile)c(hecker). Put the Windows 2000 CD-ROM in the

then you will need to do what I suggested in my first post on this. Let me know if that happens.
2) We will go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services | double-click Print Spooler

This just might be not having File and Print Sharing enabled for your Network Card. Check that by:
Start | Settings | Network and Dial-up Connections | Adavanced | Advanced Settings... Tell me if the Local

I CAN boot the PC. After some initial stop errors (after the NAV uninstall

access to all my programs, email, etc., so I don't think I am ready to resort

I am not familiar with the "sfc" command so hopefully you will explain what

Boy this SP4 keeps rearing its ugly head. So you cannot repair a Windows 2000 installation from the
Windows 2000 CD-ROM with SP4 installed. Great.
I thought you could boot. You mentioned some errors in the Event log which normally is only visible when
you are able to get into the Op sys namely you've booted successfully.
If you cannot boot and you cannot repair then in all likelihood it is time for a reinstall. What you can do is
get a new harddrive and install anew on that. Then if you can hook up a second harddrive you can access it
with the new op sys and copy out anything important.
You do not want to upgrade a bum sysyem to XP. That's won't solve anything. If you can get into
Windows 2000 then try the sfc command I asked about. If you want to fix the Print Spooler issue then we
need to look at any services it is depending on and remove that dependency.
As for the NetBT issue I suppose the article I gave you was not right. We need the Event Id and the
Source.

From the documentation I read in the microsoft KB, I understood it to be that
in the event of serious registry corruptions (severe enough that OS would not

I tried this, however, my original CD is SP2, and my systems is running SP4.
I got an error msg. that I could not run the repair on SP4 system using SP2
setup.
Also, I tried to run th chkreg utility, only to find that for some [stupid]
reason it expects you to have disk 6 from XP setup diskettes. Huh? Why would
I have XP disks if I am running 2k? So this was a waste of time too.
Any suggestions on a GOOD set of commercially available utilities? I used to
like norton, but after this fiasco, I am not too sure anymore.
I am not interested in 'upgrading' to XP. I like 2000 and want to get it
running smoothly again, as it had done for nearly 3 yrs prior to the norton
induced crash!
:
Well let us know Karen. I don't have much confidence in this application able to help but let us know.
When you say you are at SP4 and cannot run the "repair function" eactly what is that? Do you mean sfc?
You can run it you just need to download the Network install of the Service Pack 4; unpack it to a location
on your harddrive; and point the registry to it.
Ptrint Spooler stopping is probably because it is depending on a service to start that you no longer have
installed. Removed by the uninstall of Norton which it did POORLY. Known problem with Norton
products.
This "NetBT_Tcpip_{3B0B56F4-F1ED-47D. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced:" - we need the Event ID. Maybe:

antivirus 2005. Upon reboot my system had a stop error message. I was able to
load windows using the last known good configuration, but ever since then, I
no longer have my 3 printers or fax driver available, and cannot add them
using the wizard. I get an error message that states the print subsystem is
unavailable. Knowledge base articles suggested this was due to the fact that
the spooler service was not started. In fact this was true, but when I start
is manually, it stops again. After checking the Event Viewer, I see that "The
Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly." IE has been very flakey and
I am getting errors, especially when on the microsoft website, which of
course I have been A LOT. And also something about "The master browser has
received a server announcement from the computer MPX449006P that believes
that it is the master browser for the domain on transport
NetBT_Tcpip_{3B0B56F4-F1ED-47D. The master browser is stopping or an election
is being forced." (No idea what this means)
I don't know what happened when the antivirus uninstall program ran, but
that seems to have been the cause of all this. The system had been very
stable for almost three yrs with only the occasional quirk. I don't have a
windows 2k disc with SP4 and cannpt run the repair function from my SP2 disc
on the current OS. Attempting to repair using chkreg seemed like a good idea.
If it doesn't repair the problem(s), at least it may help me to understand
where/what they are.

Karen because I have no experience with chkreg I decided it would probably be best to wait and see if you
get a direct answer to your question. That seems to have happened. I am curious exactly why you think
you have a corrupted registry issue? What do you expect to find? What's the trouble?

Hello Karen,
By the time the utility chkreg.exe was published, windows 2000 service pack
4 was not released, thats why SP4 is not included in the document. I
beleive this tool is very much compatible with SP4 too.
Thanks,
