I installed XP several months ago, and ever since I did,
the "New Hardware Wizard" has been openning up every time
I turn on the computer. It is recognizing my printer as a
new device, and wants to reinstall the printer drivers.
The printer works fine now, and I can't find the cd, if I
wanted to reinstall it anyway. How can I turn off this
wizard?
