Login Loop

Hi Gang!

Odd problem. When attempting to login to my Windows 2000 Server, it seems
to loop. That is, you press ctrl-alt-del, enter the password, hit enter and
it looks like everything is going to be fine. However, after a minute, it
just comes back to the login screen. No error reported etc.

We have been able to get it to work a couple of times by either logging into
Safe Mode and then restarting it, but that is not a 100% fix either. I have
done a search on this and found a couple of other people having this same
issue with no resolutions.

Any suggestions?

When you were able to get in, did you check the event logs?
Can you remotely connect to the event logs now?

The event logs show many errors saying that:
The system cannot find the path specified.

I have not changed any paths/drives etc. so I am not sure what that is
indicating.

Event ID would help.
www.eventid.net might help more.
