Hi
I`m getting a windows announcement right after start up witch says that a new hardware has been identified...and I did not install a thing.....
What should I do and why it happens?
Thanks

If you go into device manager, are there any items with question marks or exclamation marks on them?

(Right-click 'my computer' icon and choose properties> hardware> device manager, select view, and choose show hidden devices)

Thank you for your reply.
Under other devices there was one item with a question mark (I haven`t got the faintest idea how it got there.....any clues?).Anyways, I have deleted it.

Might have been a better idea to have expanded the +sign first and then right-clicked, chose properties and seen what it said about it before you deleted it. smile.gif

Rebooted, no balloon. If it reappears you will be the first to know wink.gif
