"New Hardware Found" Won't go Away
Hi,
I'm running XP on a desktop and I just installed a wireless PCI card. Everything seemed to install correctly since I'm
now able to connect wirelessly to the internet. However, I'm still getting the "Found new hardware" installation wizard
every time I restart the machine. Somehow XP doesn't think the hardware has been installed completely even though everything works fine.
What do I need to do to convince the machine that all hardware/software has already been installed?
Thanks,
Dave

oneofamill,
I did as you suggested and found no yellow warning flags. I located the wireless card under Network Adapters and the device status is "This device is working properly".

How did you install the drivers? Did you let the computer find the device, then install the drivers, or, did you install the drivers first? What did the manufacturer suggest?

I installed following mfg instructions, drivers first, then hardware.
It's all moot now since subsequent reboots seem to have cleared up the problem.
Thanks for the help anyway!
