WINDOWS 2000 LOGIN

[wayne.deshotel]

I GET THE LOGIN SCREEN OF WINDOWS 2000 AT BOOTUP. I ENTER
THE USER NAME AND PASSWORD AND IT STARTS TO LOGIN IN
LOCALLY, THEN THE LOGIN SCREEN REAPPEARS AGAIN. THIS
HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT USER I LOGIN IN AS.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.

The first thing I'd probably try is to boot into safe-mode. Switch the
machine on as usual, but when windows first starts to load you'll
very briefly see a message at the bottom of the display saying something
like "Press F8 for startup options...", once you see this, press F8, then
choose to boot into "Safe Mode". Hopefully you can diagnose/resolve the
problem if you 'get in'.

Note that ALL CAPS is considered to be *shouting* in news (and rude).
For your future reference.

Try Richie's Safe Boot option, but you may also need to say what you
have just done to precipitate such a behavior. Installed/un-installed
software (apps., drivers, SPs or hotfixes)? Or perhaps changed
filesystem Permissions (ACLs)? Or, ... If you keep up-to-date with
Hotfixes. If you have A-V, A-T scanned (updated) recently...
