Default "Found new hardware Wizard" in XP - how to get rid of it??

I have two exactly the same printers installed on my
compaq Pressario machine with XP. At startup, this new
hardware wizard comes up and I can't get rid of it. Both
printers work perfectly but i get the wizard. Have tried
disabling, uninstalling,and everything from Device
manager but nothing works?

Anybody have a way to get rid of this pop up???

Cari,

I for one would be willing to search more often if the
search function in these newsgroups wasn't so poorly
implemented. For one thing, you can't search on a string
enclosed in quotes. For another, the default search
criteria is to list hits that match _any_ word in the
search field. It should only list hits that match _all_
words, like a proper search engine. It would also be nice
to be able to exclude terms using the "-" character.

The other frustrating thing is that after taking a long,
long time to return results (I have a DSL/high speed
connection), I get timeout error messages from the
newsgroup server, suggesting that an IIS setting needs to
be changed.

I know you didn't design it, but how about getting someone
to fix it?

Jerry

IIS is related to Internet Information Services, which is a webserver
software, included in XP Pro (but not in Home) which runs on your own PC
when you host a website. I don't see how it is related to a newsgroup
server in any shape or fashion.

Secondly you are using the web interface to read the newsgroups. A MUCH
easier way is to use Outlook Express where you can certainly search
postings.

Here are the instructions to setup Outlook Express for reading the Microsoft
Newsgroups.

In the News Server Box, type: msnews.microsoft.com

You are NOT required to logon to these newsgroups.
