View Full Version : Found new hardware device

On startup I get a message Found New Hardware Devise -
Printer. And there isn't one. This started when I
started using a USB mouse. I have unplugged and
restarted and tried everything I can think of. I even
told the system I was installing the 'new printer', but
that failed as well. I also removed both printers. No
luck.

I run XP Professional with 256mg of RAM. I have one
direct printer and one networked printer - both working.

Hope someone can help.

Not very logical but try removing the mouse in device manager and remove the
mouse software.Switch the computeroff Then reinstall the mouse software.
Switch on and XP should find the mouse and install the software
