I don't have the same camera, or Windows 2000, but I have a Sony DSC-505V and Windows XP. I never had to load a driver for XP to see it as a removable device thru USB... Hope this helps...

edit The Sony camera shows up as a Sony Memory Stick under my computer when connected, at which time I can just grab the files off the memory stick and edit with the software of my chioce (Paintshop Pro 7)
