hello,
My laptop running Windows XP Home Edition started popping up a "Found
New Hardware Wizard" window each time I boot Windows XP.However, I did not plug any new hardware into.
My wireless is not working anymore and I can't connect to the internet.

Acer Travelmate,XP Home Edition,2GB RAM,120GB HDD.

thanks

Try going into the BIOS and loading the optimal settings.

My work schedule is as follows: Mon and Tues 1800 to 0600, Friday - Sunday 1800EST to 0600, and Wednesday to Thursday 1800est to 0600. So if I do not respond right away I am at work.

There should be a setting indicating something like "defaults" as a settings change.

These settings are designed to provide best chance of the system booting.

If new hardware exists...it would be reflected in Device Manager...so I'd take a look.

That reader is standard on Acer Travelmate laptops.

Since it's a laptop and already inventoried by the system and by XP...it will appear in Device Manager, whether you install drivers/use it or not.

To eliminate the New Hardware notification...you could install the drivers for it.

Going back to your original graphic posted...worth reading, IMO: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-2543977.php

Back to your BIOS screens posted...the screen reflecting "Load Setup Defaults" is what we have referred to as the way to reset defaults.
