FYI

Lately
LiveUpdate hasn't been updating my install properly.
I've had to
download the patch manually from Symantec website. LiveUpdate appears to
run, but I've had the problem when I booted.
However, I could come up in safe mode, which it sounds
like you can't, so PCA may not be the problem.
Thanks for the input....though we're assuming the looping is due to a
PC-AnyW install.....it is very unlikely a regular user installed this; we have
a strong policy against any unauthorized sw installations....but then again, I
can't assume there aren't any "gifted" users amongst us either, who like to
live dangerously!
I
can vouch for that, I've seen it as well...several times. We use TS on
the servers, but we still need Remote Control on some of the 2K Pro
workstations.
You MUST update from v9.0 to 9.2 before rebooting.
LiveUpdate will do this for you. If this is what happened, we've fixed
it on workstations (IDE) by removing the HDD, setting it up as a slave on a
known-good machine and copying some files to it from a working
version. You can PM me if you happen to need more
details.

I think what was meant was to install 9.0 first, but before
rebooting, install 9.2, then reboot; otherwise, it crashes after 9.0 and
its reboot....
You're supposed to update to 9.21 before you go to 9.0? What's
wrong with this picture?

Has anything been added to the computer: software,
hardware, etc?? I've seen this with putting pcAnywhere 9.0 on a
Win2K system without first updating it to 9.21 before reboot.

bootup
I have seen this problem with computers with marginal
power supplies. You might want to check and see if your power
supply is going bad.
The machine was rebuilt from scratch; no GHOST. It
was working fine for several months up until a day or so
ago.

- are you trying to build the machine from ghost image? If so,
your may controller card issues or the image could have been
built on a hard drive that is bigger than the destination drive.
those 2 issues caused boot-loops for me when I first started
working with ghost.

- Firstly, my heart goes out to all those families who lost
loved ones in that tragic attack. This e-mail list helped
me deal with the emotional torment that I felt from the very
first day of the attack. Reading through 350+ e-mails
relating to the attack made me feel very close to the
pain/frustration of the citizens of the United States as well as
others throughout the rest of the world.
- I have an issue that may be
trivial to some but I'll ask anyway. Win2K machine on a
Dell Precision 410 (Pentium II with 128Mb RAM (ecc) Diamond Pro
FireGl video card) does not get past the "starting Windows 2000"
(screen with the horizontal bar graph loading).......it just
reboots again over and over, looping. Memory, HDD, CPU or
video card failure may be the culprit(s) but the system is in a
remote location and these can not be ruled out so easily.
Booting up in Safe mode results in same problem. Any ideas
as to how to isolate the problem remotely? Thanks in
advance!
