New Hardware Assistant

[Guest Peter]

I have just attached my laptop (XP Home SP3) to a printer. I decided to

abort the installation when at start up it found new software. Instead, I

used the 'Add\ Printer' in ControlPanel/Printers & Faxes. It works fine.

 

However, whenever I start the computer I alwats get the icon in the system

tray telling me that it found new hardawre and prompting me to install it!

 

How can I stop it?

 

Thank you

Good to know but why not tell the rest of us newbies how you solved it.

Sorry...the problem is I don't quite know. I just uninstalled everything

and next time round XP recognized and intalled it for me.
