Somehow your config. sys file got dumped or is corupt. Go to bootdisk.com and download a win2k boot disk.

If you have the original installation disk for Windows 2000 you cane boot to the CD and reinstall Windows over top of your current installation--repair installation. This replaces files needed by Windows that have become corrupt or unusable. You can also boot to the Windows 2000 CD and run Recovery Console, which is a command window. Run chkdsk /r to check your windows file system. Sometimes hard drive failure will cuase similar errors, but try the repair installation first. DO NOT repartition or format, just a new install over the same partition.

You need the original disk. Why use illegal software when you can get operating systems and programs free. Try UBUNTU. If you have 256MB of RAM get a full version. If less, get XUBUNTU.
