   EV>When I start up my XP box after Shutting it down instead of using   
   EV>Hibernation, before any Desktop Icons appear I see a window open saying   
   EV>Found New Hardware, and it says it is for a Printer.   
      
   EV>I haven't hooked a new printer up, and I cancel the window.   
      
   EV>Am I the only one seeing this?   
   EV>Or is this some kind of Malware that creeped in when I wasn't watching?   
      
     I'm not sure...but it sounds suspicious.   
      
     You can go to the control panel, and click on the icon for "printers   
   and faxes". Remove the ones there, then click on the icon "Add New   
   Hardware". It should search it, and find the new printer.   
      
     That's my 2 cents worth shy of a wooden nickel on input. :P
