During the NT boot process, it's not uncommon to see error dialogs reporting problems that occurred during startup. For example, you may see warnings telling you that a device driver couldn't be started or that some other system component didn't do what it was supposed to do. You can suppress these error dialogs with a simple registry change; the errors will still be logged to the system and application sections of the Event Log but the dialogs won't interrupt or intrude on the boot and logon process.
Actual errors are displayed in two phases; their display is controlled by 2 separate registry values. Messages that popup as the result of errors in the boot phase are controlled by the value of
HKEY_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\NoPopUpsOnBoot
Add this value as a REG_DWORD and give it a value of 1 to suppress boot errors, or 0 to allow the normal error dialog display.
Messages appearing as part of the post-boot startup phase (including messages produced by most device drivers and services) are controlled by a different value
HKEY_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows\ErrorMode. Set this value to 0 to allow all system and application errors to display dialogs, 1 to display only application errors, or 2 to suppress all error dialogs. (default value is 0)
note: may also work on 2k - try it at your own risk tho !
