      IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A REGISTRY ERROR. TRY RESTORING IT FROM A BACKUP, OR USE A BOOT DISC TO GO TO WINDOWS AND RUN A REGISTRY CHECKER. AND PLEASE DON'T YELL.

          If a friend has an OS install disc, try using it as a boot disc and install a new operating system. You can't do anything about the problem as far as I know of.

          Any CD's with this machine ? ?
          When buying a used machine the first step should always be a format and clean install...
          I doubt Dell would still ship you ME CD's but it won't cost a thing to ask.

              That sounds like an issue instead of a goal...
              Again what do you want to do with this laptop and how much do you want to spend ? ?

              If it originally came with WinME your options may be severely limited...

                It started out with WinME and now it'sWin2K...
                DLoad and install and run Everest Home on this machine so we can see what we're dealing with and we'll go from there...

                Save the report as a text file and post ony the computer summary portion and we'll get you fixed up,

                  1.  Everest Home.  Patio:  I don't think MONKEY1968 has been able to successfully boot the machine; hence the ten dollar "acquisition" price.  (So they won't be installing Everest Home on it anytime soon.)

                  2.  Operating System(s).  Is there a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) sticker on the laptop that identifies the original operating system?  What does it say?

                  You think it currently has Windows 2000 Professional installed on it because...  Why?

                  Do you get an operating system selection list (and is Recovery Console one of them)?

                  If you tap F8 function key once or twice a second as system starts, what startup choices appear in the Windows Advanced Options menu?

                  3.  BSOD.  See if this works:  Press the Pause/Break key the instant the BSOD display appears to pause the boot process so you can read the BSOD.
