So i'm a member now.....

I'm running NT 4.0 SP6....Today I downloaded a critical update from Microsofts web page. After downloading the update I was promted to reboot the system. So i did. Now my system hangs at the "Press Ctrt + Alt + Del to boot" window screen. It's like the system is receiving no input from the keyboard or mouse. After awhile the backround of the screen turns black and the "Press Ctrt + Alt + Del to boot" window begins to move around as if it's in a screen saver mode. Please help....Is there any way to get into NT before this screen pops up so i can look around....
 
Try pressing SPACE when it says:

Press SPACE BAR NOW to load last known good/configuration menu

Then press "L" to load the Last Known Good configuration. This should "roll back" the PC to the configuration you had when you last successfully logged in. [auto] MCSE NT4/W2K
 
Thanks for the response.... I did that and i contiue to have the same problem.... it's like the keyboard is not responding.....The system is waiting for the Ctrl + Alt + Delete command....and yes I tried a differnt keyboad....and the keyboard responds when I hit SPACEBAR for the "last Known good Configuration"...please note that the only option for LAST good config is "ORIGINAL". If ya have any other ideas please send.....Thanks again and best regards.
