Help!

I uninstalled UMAX VistaScan software on my Windows 2000 computer and it removed my Unplug or Eject Hardware Applet from the System Tray. Now my two USB devices won't work.

I have tried installing new USB devices, repairing Windows 2000 with the Rescue Disk, last known good configuration -- nothing works. Sent email to UMAX tech support and haven't heard anything. From past experience with their Telephone Support, not worth it. All I want at this point is to get Win2K back the way it was without having to totally reinstall.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should check if your other 2 USB Devices are still being recognized by Windows. To do this, go to your desktop, right-click My Computer->Properties. Click the Hardware Tab->Device Manager. Click Scan for Hardware Changes. Look if your Devices are their. Look at their properties. If there is a message that it's not functioning or it has a conflict, try reinstalling the drivers of your USB devices. hope this helps ;)
