Hi

I have a PC running XP Pro SP2 which currently drives a RIP tha
outputs to a film imagesetter via SCSI
The problem I'm having is that everything works well except tha
everytime I start up XP with the imagesetter powered up and onlin
the 'Add New Hardware..' wizard pops up, I have to cancel a number o
times until windows displays the 'Problem installing New Hardware
notice displays, after this I can go into device manager delete al
the failed installations under ? Other Devices and select disable
Everything works fine as the RIP software has it's own SCSI driver
Is there a way I can stop the New Hardware wizard from showin
everytime? My thoughts were installing a dummy driver or somethin
that nulls out that procedure

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is reall
annoying, under Win 2000 Pro, this wizard would just show once and
could press cancel and that was it

Thanks

Don't delete the ? devices so it knows they're there.

XP works the same as Windows 2000 and you were apparently not deleting the
? devices each time, like you are now, so it didn't find 'new' devices the
next time. They're non-functional but 'there' and, so, not 'new'.

Instead of clicking 'Cancel' try clicking 'Install' all the way
through like you were going to install it. Let Windows search for the
driver and when it tells you it can't find it, click 'Finish' or
whatever is applicable. That should stop it from popping up each time.
You will still have a big yellow "?" in your Device Manager.
