    Hi,
    I am looking for info (which the 2k help file says exists) on how to track driver changes under windows 2000 using msinfo32 or other method. I know this can be done with ease under XP, but can't find it in 2k..
    thanks for any help you can offer :)

    Did some searching and can't find anything other than 3rd party stuff that proudly announces it'll do that. Never had occasion to use the feature myself so I'm sorta groping around here.

    Did find This article that shows how to make the 2K msinfo32.exe do things I never knew it would do. Maybe something there to help.

    One problem that I've run into with more than one 2K utility is that most are updates of what you had in NT4 (as is msinfo) rather than utilities with all the features you might have had in 9X. Some very useful features took a while to show up again.
