Disable "Found New Hardware"
So long as you do not run a Game that needs a USB devices JOY STICK
LOOL! "Kate" wrote in message ... "philo" wrote in message ... "Kate" wrote in message ... I have Win98 installed on a dual boot (with Win XP) partition which I use for running old software - mostly games. Each time I boot into Win98 I keep getting the Found New Hardware messages relating to USB devices. As I will never print, view CF card data, or back-up to an external HD, from this partition, is there any way I can disable the message/s please? None of these devices have ever been installed on Win 98 and I wonder if I would be able to find any Win 98 drivers for them, anyway. I have searched on-line for Win98-specific information, but without finding anything helpful. Many thanks Kate Rather than 'click off' the installer simply let it run to completion... even if you do not have the drivers it's looking for... just let it complete the process. If you do not have the drivers it's looking for there is typically a prompt not to see the message again I think the reason why the hardware is found when I boot the Win98 partition is because it is a dual boot and the USB devices are installed and working in my WinXP partition with XP drivers. I do not have Win98 drivers for them, nor do I want them. However, I have now run each installation sequence to finish. Two drivers were found so I let them install, and the others all have yellow questionmarks by them in Device Manager, but that`s OK as I don`t get pestered to install them any more. Thanks for the suggestion. Kate |

Many thanks Kate I used to get very annoyed by this, and that was a long time ago, but I believe either starting the install process and then canceling it (the stupid OS will ask "do you want to cancel install" or something like that) OR setting the BIOS to non-PnP will get rid of this annoyance. PnP was a very bad idea anyway, and all the techs I know referred to is as PlugandP/r/ay. -- There are only two classifications of disk drives: Broken drives and those that will break later. - Chuck Armstrong (This one I think, http://www.cleanreg.com/, not the ball player. But who knows. I can't remember where I got the quote. But it's true.) |

You may find it useful to select "Disable in this hardware profile" for the
devices that did not install properly, as this prevents future attempts to re-install them if the OS detects they aren't working properly, for instance when it enumerates all devices. -- Jeff Richards ---------------------------------------- "Kate" wrote in message ... snip However, I have now run each installation sequence to finish.
