If you experience difficulty starting Windows 2000 after you install a new driver or change a driver configuration, you can use the Last Known Good Configuration advanced start-up options for Windows 2000.

If you use this boot option, the registry configuration reverts to the condition it was in before you made the changes that prevented Windows 2000 from starting normally. Furthermore, if you use this option, you will lose all configuration changes that were made since you last successfully logged on to your system.

For more information about the Last Known Good Configuration and other advanced start-up options, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q202485, "Description of Safe Boot Mode in Windows 2000" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=3052&ID=202485).
