Thank you for the tips, I just tried to uninstall it from device
manager, ran the registry cleaner (Tuneup Utilities 2006), reboot the
PC, then it came right back asking to search for the driver for this
new hardware, but when I ran the search to install the driver Device
Manager display "Cannot install this Hardware - The hardware was not
installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software"

Thanks

Mike
