New Hardware Found

[Keith]

Every time I start my PC, I get the New Hardware found message saying that
it has found a Printer (no details, just Printer), I only have one printer
which is shown in the Hardware list and is working fine, but to try and
eliminate things. I have actually removed EVERYTHING from all connectors
except LAN, mouse and keyboard but it still pops up with the 'Found New
Printer'. I have not added anything new to my PC for a long time.

I am running windows XP with SP3, but this started a couple of weeks ago
when I still had SP2.

I have a full Internet Security package through Virgin Media so don't
believe it to be virus related.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Keith

Does this "Printer" device show up in Device Manager? If yes, what's the
Hardware Id (shown under the Details tab) associated with it?

Regards,
Darko

Drunk One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age,
the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking
questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk',
dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two
policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk." "But,
dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!" 'Trichloroisocyanuric

The hostess apologized to her unexpected guest for serving an apple-pie
without any cheese. The little boy of the family left the room quietly
for a moment and returned with a piece of cheese which he laid on the
guest's plate. The visitor smiled, put the cheese into his mouth and
then said: "You must have better eyes than your mother, sonny. Where
did you find the cheese?" "In the rat-trap, sir," replied the boy.

to church and starts talking to God. He says: "God, what is a million
dollars to you?" and God says: "A penny", then the man says: "God, what
is a million years to you?" and God says: "a second", then the man says:
"God, can I have a penny?" and God says "In a second" 'SHMP'

Now who can tell us which is which? Student: I cannot point out but I
know the answer. Teacher: Please tell us. Student: The swallow is
beside the sparrow and the sparrow is beside the swallow. 'Coagulants'

Make sure you go to "Current Control Set". You may see "Control Set" first.
