Windows 2000 has locked me out!

I did a Win2k Install on a separate partition on a 98 machine. Everything was working ok until I ran my batch file to install a bunch of programs off the network. I recieved a couple errors for Symantec AV corporate edition, so I canceled the installation and the .bat file moved to the next program. When I recieved errors for that installation, as well as the next few programs, I decided a restart would be necessary.

Upon restarting, I entered my username and password; windows began to log on, and played its kickass music. Then, the logon screen appeared again. I logged in again, only to be met by the music, then the logon screen. I even tried logging on locally, and through safe mode, but the logon screen continually takes center stage. I've never seen anything like it before, but I find it pretty funny....
 
Search the forums here for 'winlogon' and 'userinit'. You'll find some common solutions.

You use any remote control software by chance?
What exactly where you installing?
 
well, I wasn't really looking for a solution, I just found it pretty funny, although upon reinstalling windows 2000 and running the batch file again, it again caused the problem, so I'll look at it again on monday... It's wierd because I've run it on an exact same setup with no problems...
