Hi citizen.

Boot into Recovery Console from your Windows 2000 cd.

At the prompt do the following:

type: cd winnt\system32\config
type: ren software software.bak

type: copy c:\winnt\repair\software c:\winnt\system32\config

type: EXIT

Remove Windows disc and try to reboot. Post back if this doesn't fix your problem.

Aw man, i dont have a windows cd with me.

i guess i should give up and stop posting here. im have trouble with almost everything. first it was crashing when i open 3ds max, then it fixed itself. then it crashed randomly with hdds clicking. then after i get that working, my monitor is fuzzy. then once that went away, my computer wont start. theres already so many unsolved posts about my computer in this forum and my thumbs get too tired typing out all the problems my pc has from my cellphone. i thank you guys for trying but i think my mb is toast.

Hi can you not borrow an OEM version off a friend?OEM as in CD that was supplied with a new computer?

Do you have the latest service pack installed?

Error message in Windows 2000: "STOP: c000021a (Fatal System Error)"

Do you have recovery console installed?
