Found new hardware

Fast Finger · 08-09-2005

Is there a way to turn off the system that automatically searches for new hardware at startup?

Every time i turn on i get 2 messages, one for iPod service (dont and never have had an ipod) and another one which is just jumbled letters.

Nothing else has been plugged in and according to anti virus and anti spyware its not due to that.

Any ideas people

Its driving me mad

When prompted to install click cancel then once you're in windows go into hardware manager (right click my computer > properties > hardware > device manager) then right click the things that keep popping up and disable them. Should stop them popping up at startup

win 2k or XP assumed

Most likely unrelated to this but to remove other rubbish that comes on at startup, start> run, type 'msconfig' then hit the startup tab and turn off anything you don't need. Assuming NOT win2k
