Are Windows XP drivers compatible with Windows 2000? I'm downgrading from WinXP to Win2K and am wondering if there will be any issues installing drivers intended for WinXP.

If the drivers state from the manufacturer they are only for XP then no, they will not work, use HWINFO32 to dertermine your hardware:

Thanks for the link! Apparently my graphics driver is incompatible with Win2K, and there aren't any available for my device for that OS :\
