I loaded window 2K Pro on my bargain machine. Results
are I have only 16 bit color capabilities and am unable
to connect to internet because I am missing the PCI
device. I need to download the PCI device, Multi Media
Audio Controller, Video Controller and Ethernet
Controller with my other machine to load on my bargain
machine. I don't know exactly what I am looking for in a
download. Can some please advise.
 
You would need to know the manufacturers of your hardware. Your modem probably loaded but the PCI enumeration may have failed but
if you were to click My Computer>Control Panel>System, look around for the device manager (I'm logged into a different OS and can't
remember exactly what tab it is) then your modem should be identified. From there search the Internet using the Modem name as the
keywords. You should find the manufacturer and the usually have a support page for downloads and find the file that will install
the drivers. This should clear up the unkown PCI device issie. For each piece of harware, you need to do this. For video, you
could uninstall the device and install Plug n Play Monitor and that might work but it would be ebst to get the drivers from the
manufacturers. Also check the Hardware Compatibility List at the Windows 2000 website to see if your hardware is even supported.
