Win2000 Weird Startup Message

[dr_st 0]

Hello.

 

I'm experiencing some weird behavior with my Win2K.

 

Very often, during startup, it displays the following message (maybe not word for word, but similar):

 

"Files which are needed for Windows to run correctly have been replaced with unrecognized versions. Please insert Windows 2000 CD to reinstall those files."

 

Now, whether I insert the CD or click "Ignore", this message appears the next time I reboot, or if not the next time, than the one after that.

 

I tried clicking "More details" to see what files it's talking about, but it won't display the names.

 

What could it be?

Anything entries in your Event Log ?

I've also heard of this happening if you run pirated versions of windows. I can't validate that it's true, just something I've read/heard.
