I am running Windows 2K Professional, Service Pack 2. My monitor, video driver, and printer are shown as not installed in the device driver manager. These devices were properly installed when I first installed windows. When I attempt to reinstall any of these device driver,the "wizard " finds the device drivers but then I receive an error message stating "error driver not installed cannot find file" All these devices are working properly even though the devices are shown as not installed. No clue from the "wizard" as to be missing files.

Upon you installation of Windows 2000, you should install all your devices properly. Make sure that there are no conflicts or missing drivers before updating to Service Pack 2. I never encountered the problem you had, I always do installations of Windows 2000 everytime and I always update them to SP2. I just make sure, everything's all right before updating.
