Hi. Upon upgrading to 2000 from 98, my usb port will not
start. The driver loaded by 2000 does not work. I do not
know the manufacturer. Can anyone help? Thank you. Allen

With win2000 you want to use only controllers supported by Microsoft driver.
If it isn't supported, better threw it away (or disable) and get a new USB 2.0 adapter.

Unfortunately, latest Microsoft's USB drivers for win2000 are not available as separate download.
MS suggests upgrading to SP4. If you want, do this and you'll get latest USB drivers.
Otherwice you need to search for the drivers elsewhere.

Before update, remove all USB controllers, hubs etc. in device manager.
The update won't work over non-MS drivers.
And make sure your kbd & mouse aren't USB :)
