USB Driver with Win2k

I upgraded from Win 98 to Win2k. After upgrade, my USB
ports are listed as unsupported. I uninstall them,
restart, and reinstall, but they're still listed as
unsupported. I think I may have dumped the USB port
drivers during my upgrade. Does anyone know where I can
find the drivers or have any other suggestions on how to
get my USB ports working?

Thanks for the help.

Kurt, you mean you installed W2K over W98, right? Other people have had
serious problems doing this, someone should have warned you. Anyhow, the W98
USB drivers won't work with W2K. Try Jeff's remedy, or you could find the USB
drivers, delete them, and install the correct drivers from the W2K CD.

Unsolicited advice: IMO the best route for you to go is to create a data
partition on your HD (use Partition Magic or similar), back up all your data,
the reformat C: and install W2K as a fresh install. W2K should find the USB
ports and install the appropriate drivers during this process. Since it will
be a fresh install, you should also be safe from other nasty surprises.
