Found new hardware keeps popping up!

[Marcy]

Hi, after I turn on my windows xp home pc, and it starts to load up, that
"Found New Hardware MTP device" box keeps popping up on the lower right
notification area in the task bar. I "x" it out and it comes back right
away. Its on top of ALL windows so its always showing. I rigth click and it
pops up. I left click and it pops up.

I recently plugged in an mp3 player which would explain why this specific
pop box. but I have nothing plugged into my USB now. How can i fix this and
prevent from it happening in the future

I checked system config utility>start up and the only (4) things I have
starting up are BCMSMMSG, andtivirus, spyware guard, and yahoo messenger.
I thank in advance

That can happen is a USB device is plugged into a different port from which
it was originally installed.

Just let the installed re-install it rather than cancel

Did the MP3 player need to be installed the first time you used it???

Just repeat the procedure...it must have come with a drivers CD I'd think
