Does any one know if there is a command that will allow you to restore windows 2000 pro to a previous date. I know that windows 95 & 98 had a restore command, but can't find one in windows 2000. XP has one built in. If any one can help, I would appreciate it. <_<
Hello Kenneth, As far as I can tell, there is no restore option in Windows 2000. There is a repair option, but the operating system disk is needed for that. Otherwise, If you could give us a description of what is going on, we might be able to help you resolve the issue. Regards, Ax
My nieces computer shuts down after booting up. She cant do anything. Is there anything that we can do in safe mode to get it running again? Thanks for your help
Possibly, you can have her try hitting the F8 key on boot. One possibility is try booting to the "Last known good configuration". Otherwise, safe mode is an option there too.

Also do the following to stop the reboot on error, in order to see what the error is (if you are able to get fully booted):
Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, Advanced

In the Startup and Recovery section, click on the "Settings" button
to open the Startup and Recovery window.

In the System Failure section, uncheck "Automatically restart",
Click "Apply", "OK"

After that change the computer will no longer restart when a system
failure occurs. Instead it will probably throw up a "Blue Screen Of
Death" with a STOP error message and then halt completely, requiring
a manual power off and restart (or reset if it has a hardware reset
switch).

But the contents of the STOP error message will give a specific clue
as to the underlying cause of the problem.

Thanks, I'll try that this evening when she gets off of work. I'll keep you posted and let you know if it worked. Thanks again and may God bless you for all the work that you do to help others. Kenny
