Voodoo 3/NEC Monitor problem

[twarren]

Under Windows 2000, I attached an NEC E700 monitor to my Voodoo 3 video card. My system now has become corrupted, and during the booting up process, the computer now continues to go into a loop. I now cannot access windows. The system will work with a different monitor.

THE MESSAGE THAT I RECEIVE DURING BOOT IS:

Stop:c0000218{Registry File Failure}
The registry cannot laod the hive(file):
\Systemroot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE
or its log or alternate
It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.

Any suggestions. Thank you. Ted

If W2K is setup for a Plug & Play monitor, change it to a fixed 800X600 or 1024X768. Perhaps the NEC is sending a bad signal to the Plug & Play detection.
