    Gosh - I thought I responded to you yesterday & I do not see it. I suggested
    that you:
    1. Contact your hardware vendor's support web site to check for the latest
    FAQ on your product, to download the latest driver for it compatible with
    W2K, to email a request for a fix.
    2. Access the Microsoft Knowledge Base web site and search for any articles
    for your hardware - particularly for possible compatibility issues.
    3. Uninstall the device from Windows Device Manager and try reinstalling by
    rebooting and following the W2K New Hardware Wizard instructions (using both
    the automatic method and if that's a dead end, go back and click the option
    that says you want to identify the hardware yourself - to see if your device
    is listed by the wizard)
    NEW: 4. Use a Google web search with keywords related to error messages or
    your hardware (guaranteed fastest way to finding relevant links to solve
    your problem)
    5. Provide more detail when you post for help - for example, the make and
    model of your USB drive)

    Good hunting!
