I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server that has not been patched (accept for
IE 6). When I install SP4 it goes great finishes up and asks to reboot. On
reboot the stupid thing hangs on the Windows 2000 Server splash screen. I
have absolutly no idea why. Have been able to boot into safe mode and
uninstall SP4 and is back to normal, but I really want to succefully patch
this server to current levels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
