It says "(not currently present)", which meant that it was set up, but I had it 
disabled in BIOS when I ran that report.  It doesn't seem to matter either way, 
and the VIA web site has a "USB Filter" driver that, as it says, would enable 
the USB in Win2000.

That's what I have set.

Thanks for your thoughts anyway.  It's not really that important that I get 
this working on this machine, it just annoys and frustrates me that every 
operating system that I've tried that was made by Microsoft works very well but 
Win2000 seems to be the only OS that doesn't work as expected.
