Another Win2K printer installation problem Thursday, January 6, 2005 at 1:54 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Steve M (2 messages posted) Following a non-related fatal Win2k disaster which involved a re-install from the CD and then SP4 installation, I've been driven half-mad by trying to reinstall my Lexmark X1150 printer. Anti-virus and personal firewall were disabled; the registry cleaned, healed, everything. Nothing would persuade Win2k that the Lexmark was a friend. Eventually, in despair, I looked for every reference of Lexmark in the registry and carefully deleted them, and started again. "Hurray" as we say over here - all came to life and the printer was installed. But now I am plagued by incessant pop-up "Found New Hardware" windows, promising yet another printer reinstall. Cancelling the process only results in yet another window a few seconds later. They won't leave me alone. The only way to stop them is to unplug the USB cable, but that's not exactly a solution is it? Any ideas on how to get rid of them for good? Thank you.
