Add New Hardware Wizard (XP Pro)

[Dars]

Hi, can anyone help?

I have xp pro, running grand (got it with the computer).
Recently when i want to install new hardware (usb hub,
adsl modem & sixpic camera) i install the usb drivers as
normal, then plug the equipment in. When the equipment is
plugged in the Add New Hardware Wizard pops onto the
screen then dissapears, on again then dissapears. keeps
doing this until you hit the cancel (if ur lucky enough to
get it when its on the screen).

I have managed to get the adsl modem in (thru the device
manager) but the camera and hub having no joy. Anyone any
ideas?

Thanks

Darren

Is the Hub USB 1 or 2

If 2, then have you installed the Windows XP USB 2 update

Did the installation guide suggest that you install the drivers before plugging in the device. This is not the usual method for Plug and Play

I suggest that ouy investigate the USB 2 upgarde and also read the installation guides carefully. There may also be some troubleshooting tips for you to follow

These woiuld eb better that shot in the dark answers from the internet as you have not listed any devices by Barnd Name or Model Number.
