REALLY quick/stupid question

I just installed Windows 2000 on my laptop, but when I go plug in my flash drive or Network adapter, neither of the lights on them light up. This happens for all my USB connections. How do i setup my Windows 2000 to be Plug and Play? So that they work.

 

Have you installed any 2000 Service Packs yet? Have a look here:

Havent Really tried, but I will now, thanks! I actually think that I need a driver or firmware update, but cant find one ANYWHERE! Could someone help me find some for:

Intel PCIC compatible PCMCIA controller

 

Didnt work.

 

Go to www.intel.com. They have drivers and support for their products. I just spent four hours today reloading drivers for my PCI slot with Intel chipset. It was shown in device manager with a question mark because it needed the drivers for the PCI System Management Bus. Do you also see your USB in device manager with a ? or ! mark?

 

Could it a bios setting under perephials.USB-allow ,USB -auto or something similar.

 

When starting your computer enter the BIOS config. By pressing DEL F4 or ESC (depends on your model of machine) and there should be a config setting that says "Plug and Play O/S" and that should be enabled. If thats not if I would say your USB drivers are not configured/installed correctly.
