    Boot Camp should provide you with drivers, but they're most likely for Windows XP -- have you tried those under Windows 2000?

    Running Parallel, and do not plan to use Boot Camp

    Unfortunately, I'm running Parallel, and do not plan to use Boot Camp for my needs.

    Anyone, anyone?

    Erh... In Parallels, Windows 2000 should find the emulated sound and video without a problem. You won't need drivers for the _actual_ sound/video hardware, because the virtual machine doesn't see the real hardware, anyway.

    You're Right!

    You're right, fryke!

    The software is simply amazing. It's a better plug and play than Windows itself.

    No wonder there's a rumor going around suspecting Apple buying the company that created Parallels (http://www.macuser.com/windows/apple...els_deskt.php).

    Thanks everyone!
