Checking the box "do not ask again" does not work and nothing shows
up on the device manager.
I've run antivirus, spyware, ad-aware, etc to no avail
Does your device manager show this device?
If you disconnect all your printers *(3 if I recall correctly) while powered
off and then power on - does it still want that driver?
If you disconnect all external devices other than the keyboard, mouse and
monitor while powered off and then power on - does it still want to install
that driver?
