Every time I turn on my computer, I get a message that it
has discovered new hareware & I should load the disc
and install it. The only two hardware items I have
installed on my computer are a Lexmark combo printer & a
joystick. I have reinstalled both & the message still
pops up. What's the answer. Please help.
 
Hi Richard,

This problem can occur when the printer driver is initially installed. The
printer installation program from the manufacturer does not enable the New
Hardware Wizard to finish its detection of the newly installed printer.

To work around this problem, enable the New Hardware Wizard to finish, even
though the wizard cannot detect a new printer.

Checkpoint: Unhide hidden devices in the Device Manager, view the problem
devices and remove them manually there.
