Hi,
Go to the desktop icon 'my computer', right click and select properties, then the hardware tab and then device manager. In there you will see a list of hardware installed on your pc, everything with a yellow question mark is a piece of hardware that win2k either can't identify or doesn't have a suitable driver for. chances are you'll see your sound and video card with a yellow question mark listed there. Go to your pc manufacturer's website, or the sites for the individual sound and video card manufacturers and downlaod the win2k drivers for each. Then go bacvk to the hardware list, select the problem devices and choose update driver to install the new ones. hope this helps.....

Are the devices listed in device manager? Do they show being conflicted? If so, delete them and rescan. If this doesn't work, do you have onboard sound? Get the W2K driver from the manufacturer's web site. What video play back? Media player? Or something associated with your video display adapter? If the latter, see the board manufacturer's web site, although it should also be available on the computer maker's site.
