To Install ZA2 drivers for Win 2000: 

Print out these instructions.


In short you want to install a new piece of unrecognized hardware in windows 2000. For those comfortable with such an install, your goal is to add a device in the sound, video and Game controllers part of hardware setup. Place these unzipped ZA2 files on drive A:\ and install from have disk in drive A:\.


For those unfamiliar with the process, please follow the instructions below:


Unzip the win 2000 drivers to a blank formatted floppy in drive A:

Close all other programs running in NT 2000.

Click on the start button, click on settings and select "control Panel".

Click on the Add/Remove hardware icon. This brings up the ADD/Remove Hardware wizard.

Click on 'next' [ This allows you to choose a task. ] choose ADD/Troubleshoot a device. & 
Click on "next". This will perform a search for plug & play hardware. (The ZA2 is not plug & play but install does this automatically). 

When its search is completed, you need to select "Add a new device" and then Press "Next".


The next window requires you to select the hardware from a list. Choose "No, I want to select the hardware from a list" and then press next.

You must select "Sound, video & game controllers". And then press "next".

At the next window [ select a device driver ] you click on the "have disk" button.

It asks you to tell where the manufacturer's files are: Choose A:\  and press "OK".

Select "ZA2 Wave drivers for Windows 2000" click on "next".

Windows tells you to press enter again, to install the drivers. 

Press "Next".

Press "OK".

Click "Finish" to accept the drivers for Win 2000.

Enter "restart" to restart the computer & finalize the installation process.

Have fun.



Isn't it a pain loading drivers in 2000? On the other hand, I love 2000 so the extra hassle is surely worth it.

Good Luck

P.S. I have included the ZA2DRV.txt from  the win95-98 & NT4 drivers for you to read. The information within that text will tell you of the changes made to the ZA2 drivers over time. I haven't tried them all out with Win 2000 but expect everything should be functional.
