Greetings --

    Win2K's SP4 performs flawlessly on the hundreds of machines I
support at work every day, so I can only surmise that you've some
underlying hardware problem that is being overlooked. Perhaps if you
set aside your frustrations and angry rants, and actually described
your specific symptoms and the precise chain of events preceding their
onset, someone will be able to offer a starting point.
