Anyways....the troubleshooter asked me a bunch of questions, then it asked me if my Cdrom was on the HCL...(hardware compatability list) with the following helpful hint. Does Windows 2000 support your device? To find out if your device is supported by Windows 2000, check the Windows Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) at the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com). Note a.. If you don't have Web access, open the hcl.txt file in the Support folder on your Windows 2000 CD-ROM. You know, if my cd-rom worked, I wouldn't be trying to get it to work, now would I?
