New Hardware Assistant

I have just attached my laptop (XP Home SP3) to a printer. I decided to
abort the installation when at start up it found new software. Instead, I
used the 'Add\ Printer' in ControlPanel/Printers & Faxes. It works fine.

However, whenever I start the computer I alwats get the icon in the system
tray telling me that it found new hardawre and prompting me to install it!

How can I stop it?

Thank you

JB

Re: New Hardware Assistant

Good to know but why not tell the rest of us newbies how you solved it.

Re: New Hardware Assistant

Sorry...the problem is I don't quite know. I just uninstalled everything
and next time round XP recognized and intalled it for me.
