Major Help

I just redid a WIndows NT 4.0 server. I installed the wrong graphics card the first time, corrected it the second time and now at every logon the FOUND NEW HARDWARE Wizzard screen comes up wantin WIndows 95 drivers. I can not get this to quit. Even pointed it to the 95 drivers and the next boot, same thing. Where in the registry is this stuff at. I need it disabled so that I can put this machine into service.

THANKS!!!!

Best way might be to just reinstall from scratch again.

I think the problem is an .INF file that got copied from the 95 drivers into the WINNT\SYSTEM32 directory or whereever the heck they go.

Look for stray INF files in the WINNT directories and see if there are any that obviously look like the 95 variant.

I've had this happen with scanner drivers. Dump HP installation didn't work right and copied in 95 INF file (and Drivers!) and the darn thing would always come up with an error on loading.

I would install again, and use a newer version of Windows. NT is awfully old.
