Hi, I haven't tried to uninstall any UUR that I install, if it doesn't work, I just reinstall the disk image prior to the installation of the UUR and start again. That works fine. I always make sure my backups are good before installing any software, just in case something goes wrong. I don't want to go through the process of doing a clean install.

Hi, I have tried about 8 versions of unofficial update Rollup, some very old just to see if any would work. All produce the same result. Computer wont boot. This is not a fresh install, I have been running windows 2000 since I purchased it new on this computer. It is an older computer, the mother board is a Gigabyte GA - 8S66IFXM - 775, 1024 mb memory DDR 200 Mhz. The other software before UUR is unofficial service pack 5.1 & then update rollup 2, both of which load on fine. At one stage, I omitted to load update rollup 2 to see if it would make any difference but as soon as uurollup is installed, computer wont boot and message winnt/system32/config/system missing or corrupt appears. Everytime I get to this stage, I use Acronis to reinstall the disk image before I loaded uurollup. As per ironman14 above, when this happens, it wont boot into safe mode & I believe any repair using the windows cd will undo the state I am trying to get the computer into, so I can run a higher version of firefox, rather than version 12 which I currently have to run. I did at one stage install an already updated ISO file of windows 2000 & it ran firefox's latest version, I did this just to see if it would actually work on this computer but this meant I would have to find all the drivers, reload all programs etc, this was not really an option (being a huge job) when I should be able to update the existing installation & enjoy. Thanks for the interest but still looking for an answer.

I have read a lot of the forums on updating windows 2000 which I still use & like on one of my computers. I would like to get an updated version of firefox working, I presently have version 12. I must be missing something as I have been unable to get the computer to work once all updates have been installed. I installed unofficial service pack 5.1 - all good I installed update rollup 2 (unofficial package) - all good Everytime I install any version of uurollup the computer wont boot & I get the message winnt/system32/config/system missing or corrupt. Even used acronis true image to replace the system file from another bootable system to see if any change but no change, same message. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
