  • Problem with the new hardware wizard and PCI bridge PCI to PCI standard

    I have problems with VMware Fusion 2.0.2 on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.6).) The guest from Windows XP Pro (SP2) Found New Hardware Wizard keeps wanting to install a software for "PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge". I tried to do 'automatically' and "install from a specific location" using the Windows disk, the MacBook Pro and the Mac OS X disk. In each case, I get the message 'not succeeded the Windows Logo test'. If I click on "continue anyway" is seems to load pci.sys to C:\Windows\System32\drivers. I click 'Finish' in the last window but it begins the loop again and again and again. The virtual machine network adapter is set to NAT and everything seems to work fine, but I can't stop this annoyance. Any ideas?

    There are 32 of these devices.  How many times have you finished yet?

  • new hardware found box of bluetooth device will not disappear when you try to install. ultimately it cannot find driver software but comes from the habit get off my computer

    I have a box that keeps coming back that it has detected a new hardware - peripheral Bluetooth

    Hello allysoni,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    I just want to check, your Bluetooth device work?  Or it works and you are just be notified?  What brand is your Bluetooth device and what type of computer you are on?

    Have you went into Device Manager to verify that the drivers are all up to date?  Go to start-> Type "Device Manager" in the search field-> select device-> you Manager see no yellow exclamation for one of your drivers?  If so, right click and select "Update".  If the driver is already updated, and then select uninstall.  (You may be prompted to restart)

    If you are not prompted to restart, click again on the device and select 'Install' please let us know status.  Thank you!

  • New hardware found of notification for a non-existent printer...

    I have XP on my machine.  I never had a printer HP color laserjet 8500 PS on my system, but Windows keeps telling me that he found this printer.  I can't disable this notification, and it appears at all times during my computer sessions.  Even allowing it to run and 'install' the printer does not solve the problem; It will go through the complete installation process every time if I let him.  This leads me into the wall! I need help to do that, go away!

    Option 1: Buy one of these obsolete but still expensive printers: http://tinyurl.com/7san2xa

    Option 2: Remove HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\LPTENUM

    For more information on option 2, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298370
    Before you do anything like delete a registry key, make a backup first (free) C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT using and before to actually delete the key to export it to a *.reg file that you can use to restore it if things go wrong.
