Thanks Steven but Safe Mode does the same.

I just found via Google a message from some guy who had the same happen.
In his case the file userinit.exe was in the wrong place (should be in
c:\winnt\system32 he says, which may be wrong - does W2K really have a
winnt folder?). Anyway the thing is how do I even get to see my C:
drive? My DOS boot disk doesn't see c: at all. Is there a way of booting
to see your disks without using Windows? You'll have gathered by now I'm
a W2K novice - and one who wishes he'd stayed away from it. I was only
trying to upgrade for God's sake!!!!! <rant at MS off>
