I recently installed a new sound card and now every time I restart Windows the install window comes up and says it's getting READY to install the hardware.  It's the install window that had initially come up from the CD with the sound card driver on it.  I have Windows XP Home.  What's going on and how can I GET rid of it? When the hardware wizard appears, insert the installation CD, and click on next... Let it install... If the autoplay for the CD appears, just exit. You only need to install from the hardware wizard this time.

[GLB]Flame[/glb]I already installed the hardware with the hardware wizard.  I already installed the driver with the CD too.  The sound card works just FINE.  It's just that the install window for my specific sound card keeps coming up, not the hard ware wizard.Is it compatible?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Did you remove the previously present soundcard?
..........maybe the wizard is looking for updated drivers.....and its loaded the ones from thwe disk for the time being.......typical winxp....... I went to the manufactur's site for the sound card and DOWNLOADED the updated driver.  No more setup window, woohoo.  Thanks! I like that saying......woohoo.......i should have called the missus that
