Hi, everyone.

I posted the following in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general on Tuesday
afternoon. Still no response. Hopefully someone here will have some ideas,
because I'm at a total loss.

When I start up XP, I get a balloon notice in my system tray/notification
area that says, "Found New Hardware: Generic volume". I then get a Hardware
Installation dialog in the center of my screen that says, "The software you
are installing for this hardware: Generic volume has not passed Windows
Logo testing...(the usual compatibility warning)". I have two choices:
"Continue Anyway" or "STOP Installation". It doesn't matter which I choose.
If I choose to stop installation, XP immediately finds the new hardware
again, and I start all over! If I choose to continue, the same thing
happens 8-(. Eventually I manage to get out of the loop, but I'm not sure
exactly how.

I have no idea which device, or which hardware, is being referred to. I
have installed several new programs, all of which I've installed previously
without problems. The only exception was an old version of Nero, which I
had installed only on older Windows versions. I've uninstalled it, but it
didn't help.

How can I get Windows to stop doing this???? Thanks VERY much in advance
for your help.
