Re: Windows 2000 Professional startup problem




It's an old Toshiba Tecra 8100 and does not have USB ports, but I've tried
connecting an external keyboard on the PS2 port and still doesn´t work.
The machine as tons of "rubish" installed and it connects to an outside
network with a dedicated line, but I've also disconnected the network cabel
to try to boot it.
Trying the F8 is not an option, because I get stuck again in the same
"ctrl-alt-del to begin" screen.
Any more inputs?
Thanks
A.
