Windows XP forum: Found New Hardware / Access Denied

If you add and set up a Plug-and-Play printer (for example, USB, IEEE 1394, LPT, or Infrared), you do not need to have administrative privileges. However, to add and set up a non-Plug-and-Play printer connected directly to your computer, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure. However, please read "You Are Prompted for Administrator Credentials When You Try to Install a Plug and Play Printer (Q326473)."

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, !!!

That link helped so much. I apperciate your time in helping me resolve this issue.

Take care,

Check out the instructions from the following MSKB article:

It was better to post under the original thread.

Good Luck,

Hi. I have Packard Bell computer/Epsom C42Plus printer. The very same messages regarding Found New Hard Wizard for printers and "Your printer may not work properly" have been bugging me for 15 months. I have tried finding the messages in my programme Startup directory, but can't. I gave up. The message is still with me today. Someone told me to go into the Registry and track it down for deletion, I am not sure I would recognise it and I am afraid to mess with the Registry. Suffering in silence. At least these pesky messages don't interfere with the workings of the computer.

lets face it, almost every Win OS, gets flaky. I often have this balloon popping up, new installs or not. I just click in the balloon and it goes away. Just another annoying pop up

LEXMARK CLAIMS TO BE WINDOWS XP COMPATIBLE, YET DO YOU SEE ALL THOSE "CONTINUE ANYWAY" SCREENS, THATS BECAUSE LEXMARK IS -=NOT=- WINDOWS XP COMPATIBLE, IT WAS MADE FOR WINDOWS 2000 & LEXMARK JUST "FORCES" XP TO LOAD UP LEXMARK SOFTWARE, WHICH THEN MAKES HORRIBLE MESS, QUIT OFTEN.LEXMARK TOO CHEAP TO PAY FOR XP SOFTWARE "LICENSES" IS BOTTOM LINE & CORRUPT ENOUGH TO FORCE THAT -=JUNK=- ON UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC. OH IT WORKS AT TIME, WELL NOT FAX IN IF YOU HAVE ANSWERING MACHINE, WELL WIZZARD HARRASSES YOU, WELL YOU NEED 5 BUILDS TO GET ONE TO WORK, ETC, ETC.SIGNED:PHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK MD.

YOU MAY HAVE SKIPPED PRINTER REGISTRATION & O/S GOES CRAZY IF YOU DO THAT OR YOU MAY HAVE TO "RELOAD" YOUR PRINTER SOFTWARE, DO IT SLOBBY, RIGHT OVER OTHER INSTALL, DON'T DISCONNECT USB CORD, DON'T DO ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE TITLES AS SECONDARY INSTALL FROM PRINTER SOFTWARE, JUST JAM IT THRU. IT SHOULD LEARN TO SHUT UP AFTER BUNCH OF ATTEMPTS. OR JUST CLICK CANCEL UNTIL IT STABILIZES, THEN TRY ABOVE. YOU CAN ALWAYS START AGAIN WITH NEW INSTALL OF XP, OFTEN "GLITCHES" COMPOUND EXCENTRICIES OF SOFTWARE DEMANDS.SIGNED:PHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK MD....
