PLEASE HELP.  
I never had a problem using PLUG and Play devices when I was running Win XP & Win 98SE.  Now that I am using Win 2000 I am unable to plug my mouse into another usb port, install my webcam or printer.  I am unable to locate any of my previous driver disk.  When I plug something in then my hardware wizard tries to install a driver for my "Generic USB HUB" device.  Then I GET a message stating it failed due to an installation instances or something like that.  Someone please help.You can obtain drivers from the manufacturer their website.Confused,
From which manufactuor?  I have searced Intel, Gateway and Microsoft and nothing?Of the devices that you are attempting to connect. Before connecting these, first install drivers.http://www.usbman.com/
