What version of CVSNT are you trying to install / run?  If it isn't the 
most recent stable version then do try that.  There was some trouble 
awhile ago with the LSA helper app, this post has the same error message 
but a different manifestation (e.g. your server isn't forcing a reboot, 
but it also isn't Win2K):

On the client side, when you try to do a CVS command, use that as the 
parameters.  Might be moot at this point, but here's an example:

    cvs -t -t -t -d :pserver:me at myserver:/test login
