Ben Did you actually upgrade from 2k to XP, ie used a windows XP Upgrade cd? Or was this a fresh install of XP, but upgrade in the sense that you changed OSes? If the former, that kind of odd behaviour is fairly common with upgrades as some drivers don't necessarily get updated to the newer ones from XP in that scenario. There are some MSKB articles on this, none of which I have on hand. Did you do all the windows updates? -- Harondel J.
