i upgraded from windows me to 2000, and...

now my sound card, cdrw, and dvd drives don't work. can anyone help? i have an hp pavilion 8870 purchased in march 2001, and didn't realize that it is not advisable to upgrade from windows me to windows 2000.

currently i have a soundcard/modem combination that doesn't work, and also a hp cd-writer plus 8x4x32 cdrw, as well as a pretty generic dvd-rom drive. i am most concerned with getting the audio and cdrw to work more than the dvd-rom drive. if someone can help, that would be great!!

Seems like you need new drivers for your devices for win2k .

I suggest either call HP and get the new drivers for win2k for all your devices or go to http://www.driverguide.com , register for free and get your drivers .

This site is extremely helpful . I have got drivers from here , when nobody not even the manufacterer of my PC would help .

trevor:

Go to the following HP web page and select Windows 2000 and see if all your drivers are ther. Consider upgrading the BIOS while you're in there.

Good luck!

Make a great day!
