Windows XP 'Found new hardware' fixer

<< < (2/2)

jraju:
Did yiou enable any scheduled task. Go to Task Scheduler and see whether any schedule has been enabled. Delete unwanted schedules and reboot your problem may get a solution

GlenT:
There were two scheduled tasks from Google (probably put there by the Google toolbar). I deleted them. No change on restart.

Shane:
When the cd rom and such come up as found again, that will happen if the driver for the IDE in the device manger is changed as well.

It sounds like you have something update and changing a driver every time Window starts. Most likely a driver being one version but thinking it is a newer one when it isn't.

All the driver info is stored in the registry. Just as a test, to cover all the bases, make a new user account and login with that account. Does it still happen?
