Found New Hardware Error

[Guest]

Every time I boot up I receive an erroroneous "New Hardware Found" error
described in Article 298370
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;298370>

I am unable to delete faulty registry key, both in regular and Safe Mode. I
receive an error message "Can not delete key".

(FYI, I have also read prior messages in this Newsgroup reporting that
deletion of this key does not solve the problem.)

I have also checked Device Manager, but no exclamation marks or error
messages are listed.

Thanks to all knowledgable readers who can offer advice to solution.

You need to logon as administrator in safe mode. I suspect you will then be
able to delete the key.

Negative. Still can not delete key, even when logged in as Administrator in
Safe Mode.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
