Don't start (your messagequestion) in the subject^1

This question/messagebody is an incomplete sentence, lacks background,
and is totally ambiguous.

If the question is Win2k and there isn't SP2, see if this kb266132
applies: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266132 Windows 2000 Hangs at
"Preparing Network Connections" Screen on Multiple-Processor Computers

If that doesn't apply, we need more troubleshooting background.


^1 How to start a new question thread: do not start typing in the
subject.

Instead, create a message body made only of complete sentences which
provides proper background information such as what is your operating
system and other pertinent information so that the reader doesn't have
to be familiar with your computer environment to understand. After
you've made a good message body, then populate the subject with a very
very brief title for the message.
