black screen

[Infinitychic]

Win2000 running on computer for a year. Back to school and connected to
University server - Server says install Win2000 security updates to get log
on so I did. Now I have a black screen on power-up. Put Windows 2000 disk
in CD and restarted but no luck. Not sure if CD is the first boot choice set
in bios. Any ideas?

We obviously cannot tell you if the CD drive is the
primary BIOS boot device - only you can! You
should also try the usual boot options such as
"Last Known Good Configuration" and "Safe Mode".
