Today I went to the MS site & dl'd Windows2000-KB835732-x86-ENU.EXE for
my win2k machine (gateway athlon 1100). I had recently run these
patches for my inlaws on a win2k laptop & a brand new xp desktop, no
problems. On rebooting after the install on my pc though, the machine
locked at the windows password point. I have no windows password, and
in any event the box was dimmed; couldn't have entered one if I did have
it. After a few minutes, I ctrl/alt/deleted, after which it proceeded
to "loading personal settings" where it sat quite awhile. I left the
machine for about 1 hour, when I came back, windows had loaded, but was
sitting on WE (I have a shortcut to WE in my startup) with the
"searching" flashlight looking for I don't know what. I couldn't reboot,
so I powered down. After a few more of these sequences, I ran repair
(not full reinstall, but repair) from the win2k cd & the system now
seems OK. I have no idea if it has the sasser patch or not, & I'm leery
to run the patch install again. Any ideas what's going on with this?
At this point I'm not even sure what "service pack" I have (install disk
is fairly old). I did have sp4 prior to this event. Should I install
sp4 just to be sure then try the patch again? I see after the repair I
have reverted to IE 5 (probably what's on the win2k install cd) so I'm
wondering what else I should update (again, sp4?)
TIA
Dan
