93584 2002-10-27 21:25:00 Hi

I have been trying to install this on my PC from Win 98 . It goes through
all the installation screens fine (no error messages) . However, when
it does the final reboot to finish off, the Win 2000 splash screen
shows, the small progress bar fills about half way and then the whole
thing just freezes . I can only ever start in Safe Mode .

I have tried clean reinstalling, the repair option but no luck .
I also had the same problem with Windows 2000 advanced server .

Have searched MS knowledge base, am at my wits end here! Has anyone
else had a similar problem and solved it?

Any help/suggestions appreciated

Thanks

Otherwise, no comments just yet, I've heard of stuff like that lots, so I'll see.
