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> Andy Lacey http://www.minstersystems.co.uk > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of > Steven W.
