Consider yourself lucky :-)
My NT4 -> W2K upgrade resulted in
scanner - dead
sound card - dead
tape drive - dead
My wife's Win98 -> W2K upgrade (on a much newer box) resulted in
built-in sound - dead
ATI video card - "unsupported beta" driver only
Not impressive ...
(In spite of that, W2K has been more stable than NT4, but certainly
not *perfectly* crash-free; there are still Blue Screens ...)
