I have two systems running Win2k. One old system that has been upgraded from
Win98 and a new system that only have used Win2k. Both systems are updated
using MS Update with nothing more to update.
The old system behaves similar to yours. The new system never fails.
I think that rules out any M$ fault, except that the lack of structure of
the OS have stopped me from finding what is wrong with the old system.
(Which really annoys me.)
Couldnīt you try to make a repair installation of the OS? Something has
obviously gone broke - I wish I could be more specific.
