win 2000 start in windows

[mswesty]

hello this may be a simple question for someone. we have a car diagnosis machine (windows 2000 based) in a workshop/ garage which we are trying to set up as wirleless (to many cables on workshop floor). the problem we have however is that when we turn on the machine, the diagnosis software loads up imediatley and the normal windows canot be accsessed to install the wireless drivers. we have tried f8 safe mode on starup but this only alows limited usage. if anyone knows how to get around this problem i would be very greatful . mwest

Re-boot into safemode.  Once in open a command prompt window. Type in msconfig and hit Enter...choose the Tab marked Startup and find the diagnostic program and un-check it.
Now when you re-boot it should boot to Win2k where you can install your drivers for the wireless.
After you have configured the wireless and it is set up properly simply repeat the process above and check the diagnostic program to have it automatically load at startup again.

And Welcome Aboard !
