Hi!

I have a problem with my server.I have changed the
motherboard and the RAM due to a problem, after that it
started the server without problems and then i have
installed "Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility
(INF) [INFINST_ENU.EXE]".Now my windows 2000 server hangs
on "preparing network connections" startup screen.
If i try to use safe mode (with networking and all) it
works..but i can't find why doesn't start normaly. I have
also tried to use "last known good configuration" and
nothing, the same thing as trying to start windows normaly;
it stops on "preparing network connections".
I have tried to start the server without the NIC...the
same..stops on "preparing network connections" screen.
I have SP2.

Please help me!

Thnks!
