| part of a big network and was upgraded to 2000 Pro for that purpose...and
| then subsequently given to her when they upgraded their hardware).
|
| I've been concerned about its vulnerability to some of the recent viruses
| that have been attacking Win 2000 computers, so I've been trying to
download
| all of the various patches via Windows Update. Unfortunately, it won't
| download any of them (including the Windows Geniune Validation Tool), so I
| tried reinstalling Service Pack 4...no help there. So, I decided that I'd
| try uninstalling all of the various service packs and hotfixes that I
could
| and then try to reinstall them, hoping that this would solve the problem.
| Well, after installing one of them (which one, I am uncertain because I
| wasn't writing anything down), I was asked to reboot. When I did, it took
| forever, but when it finally got to the login, it says that it cannot log
me
| in because the domain does not exist (or something to that effect...I'm
not
| at home currently). I've tried restarting in Safe Mode, etc., but nothing
| works.
|
| I do not have the Win 2000 Pro installation CD, so reinstalling is not an
| option. And I don't have the recovery CD either, so I can't do that. So,
| I'm left with very few options, except to ask the fine folks here for
| assistance. If you can help me in any way, I would greatly appreciate it!
|
| Thanks,
|
