i just reformatted my HD and installed windows XP. i
have a wireless network adapter plugged into my 1st USB
port. a notification appears on my taskbar next to the
clock whenever this network adapter is plugged into my
USB port. the notification looks like a green arrow next
to some generic piece of hardware. when i right click on
the notification the only option i'm given reads: "safely
remove hardware". when i click on that a window pops up
giving me the option to disable my network adapter so
that it can be safely removed. the problem is--i don't
want to remove it!

can anyone tell me why XP all of a sudden thinks i want
to remove my USB hardware? furthermore, can anyone tell
me how to get rid of this pesky little notification?

thank you so much for your help-matt
