    Found New Hardware Wizard
    « on: April 20, 2008, 01:35:58 PM »
    Hello,

    I installed a Fisher-Price kids game that connects via a USB port.  After uninstalling the program via "add/remove software", every time CPU is rebooted the "found new hardware wizard" begins and a pop-up window from the system tray states "unable to complete installation of other PCI Bridge device".  I close these 2 warnings down and carry on as usual but I am frustrated with having to do so.
     
    Start/control panel/system/hardware/device manager/SCSI and RAID controllers shows a "other PCI Bridge Device" with a red x over the small icon.  I have right clicked and attempted to delete, and have right clicked and disabled, both multiple times, yet every reboot the same thing happens.

    Thanks in advance............

      Hi,

      Thanks for replying, no the game is not plugged in, nor has it been for over 5 months.  My wife tells me the same thing has been happening at startup ever since day one the software was installed on the cpu.  I have tried to reinstall then uninstall with and without the disk and with windows xp to no avail- its like the cpu is still trying to connect to the game even though its not their and I have uninstalled the games software.  Could this be a corrupt or incomplete driver still lurking?

        I have had this problem before after a remove.  I went to search for the file and found some still lurking and deleted from there and solved the problem.

          I have very limited knowledge of how to find these hidden files, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated-

            click on start, then click search, click c drive and all files and folders including hidden.  Then type in name of program and hit enter.
