I tried that.. 2k would only boot in safe mode since I installed it months ago,
seems to have a problem assigning hardware parameters for my creative labs,
RIVA TNT2 Ultra 32 AGP card and it won't let me set them manually. Note this
hardware works fine in 95 & 98 and RedHat Linux 8.0, I even got the latest
video drivers from creative's site but 2k refuses to load them.
While the system was booting, I selected F8, and choose to use the restore/load
last working configuration option, there was only 1 to pick from, naturally it
hung again.. I also tried the logging option, hung again.
It's not a big loss as 2k was just an experimental installation and I'm just
going to wipe the drive and install everything from scratch. Installing from
scratch about every 6 months seems to be a good practice when running windows,
this way I get rid of the unused programs and regain some of my speed !!!
