When you run the hardware wizard, does it say, at any point:

"Windows is installing the software for your new hardware"

If not, does it say anything, or does it say something about no
new hardware found (or something like that)?

Or does it do somethine else?



My pc appears to be an AMD Athlon xp 1800+ ????
When I run the wizard I git the No New Hardwear Found.
The problem seems to end before the wizard has time to start.
I push next,wizard pauses,problem goes away then wizard does its
thing.
Thanks,Crate.

Try this:

boot up, make sure you have the problem.

Open Device Manager.

Click the My Computer at the top (or whatever you renamed it to).

Then do ActionScan for Hardware Changes.

Check to see if it has the same result as running the Hardware
Wizard
(that it makes the problem go away) or doesn't.


Yes, that seems to make the problem go away also!?!?


OK, boot up again.

Make sure you have the problem.

Go to Device Manager again.

Click on My Computer.

Click ActionPrint.
Make sure that "All Devices and System Summary" is selected
and print the report.

Then do the ActionScan for Hardware Changes.

Do another report as you just did.

Compare them CAREFULLY, looking for changes.

Let us know what you find.



Welly,welly,well !!!

First: There was a small diffrance in free space on the c drive.

Secound: ClassVD/CD-ROM drives
Device:40x12x48 CD-RW

This appared before the "fix" but not after.I thought I had checked out
both of my CD-ROM drives.I may have checked out the one that works,
twice!?
I can't find any of my softwear or my manual(the girlfriend likes to
stray-ten up).I'm not even sure what brand it is.
If I try to trouble shoot it before the fix I git the not responding
message etc.
If I try the add hardwear after the fix it can't be found.
I don't use it vary often(maybe why I never noticed it did not work).Can
I
git it to not be recognized at boot up?Any other suggestions?

Thank You So Much,Crate.

So, it's a problem and the system is mapping it out when
you scan for new hardware.

Use Device Manager to DISABLE it.

Reboot and check.

If it's still causing problems, get inside your case and disconnect
it AFTER removing it from Device Manager.

It might just be broken. If you can find out who made it, and it's
firmware upgradeable, do that.






All is good now.Was able to disable.Will deal with the p.o.s.some other time.
V Green ROCKS,Is a saint,Is the bomb,etc etc etc.PEACE BE WITH YOU.Crate.

Nah, just been dealing with recalcitrant hardware for longer than I
can remember and don't mind passing that knowledge along.

Stay frosty.
