I have a question about Top five reasons why Windows doesn't support your hardware :

I upgraded from 98se to 2000...first it didn't recognize the mouse (fixed that by reloading the common ps/2 driver in the add hardware) then it doesn't recognize that the internal modem even exists.... yes I followed the same procedure with add hardware and the driver is in the list but still no luck.... since it doesn't even recognize the modem as a physical device I can't tell that it was assigned a port...in 98se it was COM3....2000 says I only have one COM port...what's up with that and how do I fix it? thanks :)

Well win2k has most of the drivers but NOT all of them...
You will need to get your cd out for the device you have and reinstall them...and 
they must be for win2k not win98 nor XP..
If you can't find the cd for them download aida32 and it will tell you what hardware 
you have on the machine and  a link for the drivers then update or install the new 
drivers.
------------------------------------------
You can also goto driverguide.com for the drivers once you know for sure what the 
model numbers are.
-----------------------------------------------------
aida32 download From:

This is the one I like best(ESI) ,it will show your software/cd lic.numbers for software 
you have installed on the machine,and you can copy it and print it out for safe keeping.
 
Aida32 - Enterprise System Information 3.93
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download183.html
Size: 3.1Mb 
 
Personal System Information 3.93

unzip it to C:\Aida32 and then run the aida32.exe to run the program
Or Start/Run C:\Aida32\aida32.exe

Also drivers from:
http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/
Support\Hcl.txt

New ver. of aida32 called Everest Home Edition
It has a installer and uninstaller with it..
