Computer XP driver problem

[Barry Watzman]

On a comptuer that I work with, every time the computer is started the
following dialogue box is presented (grammer and spelling errors
presented as they appear):

"The driver has been lost or uninstall incompletely! Please open the
Control Panel, click the add/remove programs icon and select the
uninstall program for full uninstallation. Install it again from your
master disk if necessary." {-OK-}

Well, ALL attempts to find the source of this message and remove it have
failed. I've been through add/remove programs, also MSConfig (turn off
all programs one at a time using selective startup). I've examined the
registry with regedit, I've gone into the old Win 3.1 .INI files. I can
find nothing that is producing this message, and I can't get rid of it.

It doesn't cause any problems, just click on "OK", but it's annoying as
hell. Anyone have any ideas other than wiping windows? I think that it
may have come from either a Paperport Strobe USB scanner or a PC Card
serial port, but I can't be sure of either.

Thanks

Have you looked to see if there are any errors in the System (or
Application) Event logs using Event Viewer?

Google also found (long URL may need repairing)....
