An oft forgotten device?

[xp-pro]

Dell Inspiron B130 - 1.5 Ghz Celeron - Windows xp Pro (all updates applied)

I have a SanDisk Imagemate CFII card reader. EVERYTIME I connect to the USB
port Windows launches intothe "Found New Hardware" routine. It tells me it
is copying the driver to Windows/System32 folder. Yet, if I disconnect and
re-connect the unit the "Found Neew Hardware" wizard launches again. What's
the problem/fix?

Thanks

I've seen that too on USB devices that has never seen that port before. And
it stops once that happens on all of the USB ports. Add a hub, and you start
this nonsense all over again. Is that true in your case too?

Are you connecting to the same USB port or a different one? Generally a
device will install completely afresh if you connect it to a port that it's
never been connected to before.
