Found new hardw

Hello everyone. I just purchased a new computer with the X-Fi Xtreme soundcard. My problem is the above soundcard is the only PCI device I have occupied in the PCI slots. Everytime I boot up the computer and enter Windows XP SP2 I get the "found new hardware" pop up. Windows asks me to install new driver and I download the latest driver for Xtreme but the problem is still there. I boot again and the same problem pops up and still exists. The soundcard functions properly but the annoying pop up stays with me everytime I boot the computer to Windows. Is there any recommendations? The motherboard is a ASUS P5WD2-E Premium. Comments and suggests highly appreciated.

What mainboard do you have in your computer? Just on the off chance: the A8N-SLI family of mainboards has a driver (for something ACPI related, if I recall correctly) which installs automatically when the installation disc is inserted into the computer. If Windows was updated with drivers from the Internet and the installation disc was never used, you will get 'new hardware found' messages until the installation disc for the mainboard is inserted (just wait for the autorun menu to pop up and then you are good to go).
What really bugs me is that Asus does not offer this driver for download on their website. It took me a couple of hours of digging around on the Internet before I found out about the little patch they hid on the installation disc.
Otherwise, it could be a BIOS setting or an IRQ sharing issue. If you don't have the skills to troubleshoot it, you might have to go to someone who does.

ITunes 6.0.1: "Found New Hardware: iPodService"

I posted this yesterday in the "Upgrading, etc." forum, but have not received any responses or help; I thought it might be more visible in this forum. Since I posted, I did find a few posts that I thought would help, and I tried the suggestions, with no success. The problem still occurs:
I downloaded and installed iTunes 6.0.1, and despite my fears -- after reading other posts -- that I would have problems with the new iTunes, so far it has worked fine, even though I did install it over the old version.
But after I installed it, I shut down my computer and went back to it later; and when I started it up again, I got a message in the taskbar: "Found New Hardware: iPodService". (I'm using Windows XP.) Then it went to Install New Hardware. [I get the error EVERY TIME I boot up.]
It asks me if I want to install from a disk, but of course since I downloaded the program, I don't have a disk. I tried using the CD-ROM I got with my iPod, but it couldn't find what it needed there. And not only that, I didn't install any new hardware, only software!
I have searched the Apple Discussions for help, with no results; it seems like nobody else has had this problem.
What do I do to fix this, ignore it, or keep it from happening again? I did search a little online, and I found out that the iPodservice.exe program isn't essential, so I could simply go to Task Manager and end the process, but I want to be sure about it first.
Any help with this is appreciated.

DEZ3124,
I want to change the default location of the music libary, so I went through the edit | preferences | consolidate library processes...which seemed to work fine.
This method will change the location of the iTunes Music folder but the the iTunes folder itself will be left behind in its original place: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Music. This makes iTunes (and by extension will also make you) much happier and in this case you'll be well-advised to let it have its way.
Note that all the actual music files you now have, as well as those you will add in the future(which take up the bulk of the space on your hard drive), will be in the new location. The iTunes folder will be left behind with the iTunes Library files which don't take up much space at all ... if that's a concern.

My ipod touch 2nd generation is stuck at recovery mode when I tried to update from a 3 software to a 4 software. I tried puting it in DFU mode to fix it but a window pops up about the computer found new hardware and needs a cdrom. What do I do?

My Ipod is stuck at restore mode, when I downloaded fixrecovery and zlib1, they gave me a file which I can't open iBSS.n72ap. Fixrecovery wanted me to put it in DFU mode and I did but a window from my computer pops up telling me that it found new hardware and wants a CDrom to install. The ipod did not come with a CDrom software. It wont go back, and iTunes does not recongnize it. What should I do?

Try here.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first try removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or

NI-DAQmx 8.3.0f0 installed but Found New Hardware Wizard shows up when plugging in a USB-6008

I have NI-DAQmx Device Driver 8.3.0f0 installed with LabVIEW 8.2 but when I plug in a NI USB-6008 I see the "Found New Hardware Wizard" in Windows XP. Since the DAQmx driver is installed shouldn't Windows recognize the device immediately?
I cancel the driver and I get the taskbar message "A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your device may not work properly."
The USB-6008 does not appear under Devices and Interfaces in MAX.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Ahh, I thought Windows performed an automatic search after cancel is clicked.
I clicked next and allowed Windows to search and it says:
"Cannot Start this Hardware"
There was a problem installing this hardware: USB-6008
The device cannot start. (Code 10)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the results were the same.
Any ideas?

SOLVED: 1030NR - SD Card Reader launches Found New Hardware Wizard when media is inserted

I purchased the HP Mini 1000 1030NR a few days ago and have been very happy with it so far. Last night I attempted to use the integrated SD card reader to view some photos from my digital cameras SD card. When I inserted the card into the drive, Windows did its normal hardware initializations. It should have detected and installed the SD Card Reader automatically, but instead I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" wizard. Every attempt to install the driver automatically via the Wizard failed. Every SD card I tried in the reader produced the same results.
After spending 2 and a half hours online with HP support, their eventual resolution was to do a full System Restore. As owners of the HP Mini 1000 will know, this process is made difficult due to the units lack of a DVD-ROM drive. Furthermore, the problem here is clearly a missing driver. Doing a System Restore as suggested would be like swatting at a fly with a cinderblock. It may resolve the problem, but there is a much more straightforward way.
The problem is that due to the nature of the XP installation on the 1030NR,(scaled down for performance/size reasons), the linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver respository has been broken, at least as far as USB devices are concerned. I found this out after the same HP support technician suggested I uninstall all of my USB Root Hubs from Device Manager and reboot. Those never came back either. Fortunately I had created an XP restore point beforehand and quickly got my USB ports back. Of course, my SD card reader still didn't work.
The solution is to restore that linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver repository so that the operating system can "find" the USB drivers and in turn, install the necessary software components for the SD card reader. Instructions for doing this are as follows:
1. Insert an SD card into the SD card reader. The "Found New Hardware" Wizard will appear.
2. Check the radio button to not allow Windows Update to search for software. Click Next.
3. Check the radio button to "Install from a list or specific Location (Advanced). Click Next.
4. Check the radio button to "Search For the Best Driver In These Locations. Then click the checkbox "Include this location in the search."
5. Click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Windows\inf" If you cannot navigate to this folder you may type it in the box manually. Click Next.
6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the software driver installation. You may receive an error code at the end indicating that the device could not start. Disregard this for now. Once driver installation has been completed, reboot the computer.
7. Once the system is back up, the "Found New Hardware" wizard will probably reappear. If it doesn't, make sure the SD Card Reader has a card inserted in it. Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard and click Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for entries with either an exclamation point or a question mark. You'll probably see the SD Card Reader with an exclamation point and an "Unknown Device" with a question mark.
8. For the SD card reader, right click on it and select "Update Driver..." from the list of options. Follow steps 2 through 6 above to complete installation. At the end, the card reader should be functional (you can see it in Windows Explorer, etc.) but you'll still have an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
9. To resolve the "Unknown Device", once again go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device entry, click Update Driver and follow steps 2 through 6 above.
10. One final reboot and the SD card reader should be functional and no ? or ! warnings/errors should be present in Device Manager.
The reason for this issue in the first place is most certainly due to the way Windows XP is configured on the HP Mini 1000. Although this solution works for the 1030NR, it should also work for models in the same family that contain the 2-in-1 SD card reader. HP really needs to provide an official fix for this issue, preferably a "patch" that re-establishes the linkage between recognized hardware devices and the internal Windows XP driver repository. Their official support suggestion of doing a complete System Restore to solve the problem is impractical, heavy handed, and may in fact not solve the issue.
It took me nearly 5 hours total to resolve this problem. I hope this post saves somebody both time and trouble.

C:\Windows is the default folder for the Windows XP installation on the 1030nr. Unless changed during installation, all PC's (not just mini's) that have XP installed will have this folder present. As for the inf folder specifically, this is hidden from view in Windows Explorer unless you tick the option to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" from Tools - Folder Options - View tab.
Still, you shouldn't need to "see" this folder for the above instructions to work. When running the "Found New Hardware" wizard, you can just type the path in manually at the appropriate spot. If you truly do not have a C:\Windows\inf folder, then it sounds like something is wrong with your Windows installation and a full System Recovery may be the best option. It might be a good idea to contact HP support first before donig that though.
Does your Mini run Windows? If not, unfortunately the instructions I laid out above will not help you. I believe the "other" Mini's run some HP customized version of Ubuntu Linux. For that OS, you'll need to obtain a driver specifically for it to get the card reader working. Try the HP site for a download for the SD card reader or contact support.

"Found New Hardward Wizard" tells me I Cannot install this hardware

When I plug my ipod in the "Found New Hardward Wizard" appears. It displays:

An error occurred
The data is invalid
After this the ipod does not appear in My Computer, I have looked on Device Manager in Universal Serial Bus Controller but it does not appear there either.
The ipod screen lights up when connected but it will not charge. PLEASE HELP ME.

Try to use different USB ports..
Plug in the USB cable to the port first and then to the iPod adjust if necessary.
Buy or borrow another USB cable.

Disable "Found New Hardware" and Stop it automatically installing.

Hello All.
Ok the Issue I have is below and can't seem to find the correct answer I need.
I have two dell WYSE
boxes running Windows XP. I have one with an SSD to do all my configurations on and one is a 4GB flash box for steaming on to using WYSE WSM.
I have created a locked down version of XP with all sorts of registry hacks and Group policy to stop the end user accessing
system files and control panel etc..
I have it the way I want it but when I stream to the Flash Box, it picks up it has a 4GB SATA drive in it and installs it
and creates itself a drive letter E:\ and puts an icon in My Computer.This going
completely against what I wanted, I don't want the end user to have local drives. ONLY pendrives.
What I have done:
I have used group policy to restrict the view and access of A: B: C: & D: drives so it still allows me to use pen drives.
I have disabled some services to stop searing for new hardware on start up which hasnt worked.
There has been posts of going into device manager and disabling the hardware in there, but I cant do that on the FLASH box
as its already streaming and its locked down so cant the configs have to be made on the SSD box which doesn't have the 4GB flash drive in.
Any ideas?
I hope there is enough information on here for an answer.
Lets pull our brain power together and get an answer.
As per other posts and infinite Google searches, I know that many other people has a similar issue.

Found New Hardware Error with iTunes and Motorola L7 SLVR

Hi,
I reinstalled iTunes because when I connected my phone via USB I would get an error in Found New Hardware Wizard: There was a problem installing this hardware. Motorola Motorola Phone USB Device. After reinstall, I opened iTunes and no error until it asked me to 'convert my phone for use with iTunes'. Once I said yes, it did something to the phone and then the error re-occurred. I am using the latest version of iTunes.
Shiff1

None of the steps outlined in the referenced document resolved the problem. In addition, simply connecting the iPod to the system now has the added effect of freezing my wireless connectivity. I can still get iPod connectivity to the system, but I'm offline until I reboot again (w/o the iPod connected).
When I try the second set of steps recommended in the attached note ("Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items"), and had only the iPod selected, the system would not allow a complete boot up at all (kept sending me back to edit the System Services screen). It would then not allow me to restore the system to the selections that were previously on the computer. A mess!!
I ended up doing a complete system restore (back to a prior system configuration) and that corrected the problem. But, of course, I continue to get the error when booting up that "new hardware found".
Any other ideas?

[VOX] Help! always pop up "found new hardware"

I bought MSI VOX usb tv tuner in Mar and it worked fine unti yesterday. Suddenly my laptop doesn't recognize the hardware and always pops up "found new hardware". I tried uninstall the driver and MSI PVS software and reinstall the driver either from MSI's website or the FTP link. I also tried to install VOX on another laptop. But none of the above works. Is it a hardware problem?

Thanks in advance!

"Found New Hardware" Error

6460EFU T61 Found new hardware messages

The found new hardware screens flash on the screen for Bluetooth hands free audio and Bluetooth Audio whenever the laptop is booted. The two devices appear under other devices in the device manager. I have tried to remove the devices and I have tried to disable each device. Either way the found new hardware screens appear on boot.
There are no drivers found tech support says they have no drivers. I don't need the devices I just want to get rid of the error messages.

Found new hardware

Everytime I try to update my ipod, the "update ipod" button is grey. So i cant click it. and all i get is found new hardware and then nothing else happens.. what do i do

Thank you kindly.
Let's run through the following procedure with that.
First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
(6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(7) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
If you get another error message on the install, what does this one say?
If iTunes installs successfully this time, do you still get the "registry settings" message when it launchs?

Satellite U200-115: Vista found new device - PCMCIA MTD-002

Booted up my notebook and am getting a Vista found new hardware screen looking for the drivers for a "PCMCIA MTD-002" device. Have no idea what this is...but I am certain that I haven't used the PCMCIA slot since I got the computer. Any ideas?
Thanks
Emul

Hey emul,
I got the about the same problem with my Satellite Pro U200. After rebooting from "sleeping-mode" Vista is looking for a driver for the new found device PCMCIA MTD-0002, although there is no card installed.
Did you get your problem solved in some way up to now?
Thanks

Found new Raid controller all of a sudden

Alright, my winter break just started from college, so I brought my computer home with me. I hooked it up and it wouldn't boot. Somehow a setting in the bios got changed and I had to change it back. Now when it starts up it says it has found new hardware, it says it has found a new raid controller. I have the driver installed that came on the msi cd. I don't know what windows is asking for. So since I don't know what its asking for, I click cancle. Then it gives the deal about how the "new" hardware might not work correctly. The computer has only been turned on for a little while but it runs fine so far. Any thoughts on what I should do?
System specs:
865PE-neo2
P4 2.8 800fsb
1GB corsair ram
2 120 Gig Samsung in raid 0

If your drives are on the Intel controller and working properly as Raid0, it's probably the Promise controller that Windows is seeing and asking for drivers. If you have nothing connected to Serial3&4, IDE3 you can safely disable it like Danny says.
Bios>>Integrated Peripherals>>Onbaord Promise Controller - Set to "disabled"
