With a new operating system you must now install the drivers for your hardware and reinstall all off your programs in order for them to work with windows2000.
Good luck!

This is actually not a real easy upgrade to do.

As Mike says, you need a whole new set of drivers and you may well have to re-install most of the software that is not now working. Win98 and Win2000 are vastly different operating systems in the way they do things, and it is often better to backup all you data, your address book and favourites/bookmarks, and anything else you can think of, and start with a clean disk.

You will get a better system all up and all the drivers can be installedcorrectly, but if you don't want to do this, just plug on re-installing the things that no longer work, using Win2000 drivers.
