An oft forgotten device?

[Guest xp-pro]

Dell Inspiron B130 - 1.5 Ghz Celeron - Windows xp Pro (all updates applied)

 

I have a SanDisk Imagemate CFII card reader. EVERYTIME I connect to the USB

port Windows launches intothe "Found New Hardware" routine. It tells me it

is copying the driver to Windows/System32 folder. Yet, if I disconnect and

re-connect the unit the "Found Neew Hardware" wizard launches again. What's

the problem/fix?

 

Thanks

I've seen that too on USB devices that has never seen that port before. And

it stops once that happens on all of the USB ports. Add a hub, and you start

this nonsense all over again. Is that true in your case too?

Are you connecting to the same USB port or a different one? Generally a

device will install completely afresh if you connect it to a port that it's

never been connected to before.
