Net Trans device tries to install



Recently I installed Win XP Pro over W2K on my laptop. I then deleted the
W2K files using method specified by MS Support. After the reboot, the
hardware wizard pops up asking to install drivers for a device called Net
Trans. I tried doing the automated search thru Windows Update and manually
searching for this device on the files present on my laptop, but couldn't
find them (I did unhide all of my hidden files to search them too). I then
searched thru my Win XP and W2K CDs-still no joy. I looked up Net Trans on
the web and found one brief description by MSDN that says it has something to
do with network protocol, but the device has no dependent services and is not
configurable. I then used the SFC command to verify protected Window files,
then rebooted-still got the wzard popup. When I check the Device Manager,
there is no device listed with the yellow bang or question mark...and yet
everytime I boot up my laptop the hardware wizard chirps in with the demand
that I install this Net Trans device. I just recently completed a full
antispyware and boot antivirus scan (no spyware or viruses)...when I reboot,
the wizard still pops up. OK...does anyone has any advice on how to look for
this Net Trans device or just stop that annoying hardware wizard popup at
every boot? Other than that my laptop is working OK, no other problems noted.
