Hey thanks kgeissler. I hax0red around in my registry with the help of the info on one of those pages. All i can do now is cross my fingers and hope that: A) I haven't borked up my registry and 2) It works. hehe Thanks again. [edit] Pfffft, no dice. I obviously wasn't crossing my fingers hard enough. Still searching for alternate methods to solve my dilema.[/edit]

Hello! I have a really bad problem with my win2k machine. I could be doing anything like playing a game, surfing the net, using photoshop or 3dsmax, when all of a sudden my computer freezes and the only thing for it is a reboot. Now, I know my way around computers, but this problem has be both baffled, and annoyed, Especially when I am working on a 3d scene which has taken me 5 hours, only to have the comp freeze, reboot, and find the files corupt. I checked event viewer everytime, and it seems the culprit is the following. Event Type: Information Event Source: Sentinel Event Category: None Event ID: 1 Date: 5/10/2001 Time: 9:31:19 PM User: N/A Computer: JANUS Description: The description for Event ID ( 1 ) in Source ( Sentinel ) cannot be found.

I am only running default out of the box win2k, but am currently downloading SP2, but this might not change anything at all. Any help is greatly appreciated Till next time, seeya.
