       Look in device manager to see if anything not installed shows up -
where you may be able to unistall it. Check your cmos. Sometimes there is a
option to clear pnp settings at next boot and you may want to choose the
option to select a non pnp OS, which usually is best for W2K. You may also
want to post on a hardware/general newsgroup for W2K. --- Steve
