win2k question

[Curio]

Uninstall the program is a good idea, good luck.

I uninstalled Folder Lock - Same failure as before - I dug out old Dell stand alone diagnostics.

Ran approx 3 hours of dianostics - biggest part of time was diagnostics on C:
Ran all except telecom / cable modem diags. Not a single error.

Only thing left is the Microsoft Backup package. It ran last month successfully - not now fails consistently - only thing peculiar is timing is not consistent to failure point - I would have expected program to fail at the same point.

Going to wait thru next round of Microsoft updates and see if that changes anything

Finally got reply from Folder Lock people -

"
Load your computer in Safe Mode or in Dos Mode (this can be done by loading your computer with the help of a bootable disk, floppy or a bootable CD) and
then delete the file called 'windrvNT.sys' from your Windows system folder, which is Windows\System or Windows\System32.

Once you've deleted this file, boot the computer normally and you can use the computer without any problem with all your files recovered.
"
2 questions - how do I boot into "Safe Mode" and will the file they mention deleting - rebuild itself?

OBTW I used the event viewer and it specified "Bug Check" which I assume is a program exception.

Got another message from Folder Lock - apparently it is their problem and not a Win2k problem

"
Sir "windvrNT.sys" is related to Folder Lock only.

Please let me know if I can do anything for you,

Have a great day!
