A superlong shot would be to try the system file checker...
sfc.exe /scannow
Good luck...
If it's just windows 2000 professional, no matter how important you think it
is, Windows isn't :)
Run the a Windows installation in repair mode - It'll reinstall all of it's
operating system files, but most of your software will still work, and even
be in the same start menu.
You won't lose any documents or programs, either.
If you have any files utilizing NTFS encryption, decrypt them before you run
the repair install.
