    I have a Gameshark 1.2 for the Game Boy Advance and an Action Replay Max Duo for the GBA and the Nintendo DS. Each device needs its own special USB drivers and Windows application.

    Unfortunately, they don't peacefully co-exist. Windows 2000 gets confused when I connect a device. It mixes drivers, and then neither device works properly.

    Is there any way I can get these devices to both work? (They do not need to be connected simultaneously, in case that matters.)

    Driver Conflict

    Several options with this driver confllict.
    You can disable one of the drivers , unplug the device.
    Another option if is open to you is to go into the device manager > properties of device > see if it lets you turn off the automatic allocation of resources for alternate settings.
    It seems that 98 was more manual and offered more setting changes.
    Another option might be to put in a usb pci card and see if it handles it better.

    hope this helps
