In the device manager, does the card have an exclamation point next to it?

Just takeing a guess, but I assume the card did not come with a driver disk? Or if it did the driver is not for windows 2000 is my guess. Since the description you gave, the Exclamation point means that the driver installed is the either not correct, or not properly installed.


You can try
http://www.driversguide.com/

Which I have found to be a fabulous source of older or even better drivers for devices in use today.

Well, what to do I not for me to say, but I would trust DriversGuide. I have never found them to be wrong.

See about a new Card I guess. They are dirt cheap these days.
