   EV>On February 27, 2015 I talked about that I saw a window that said   
   EV>"Found New Hardware" for a Printer whenever I powered up my XP box   
   EV>after it had been Shut Down, or Restarted - but didn't see the window   
   EV>if I Hibernated the XP box to turn it off, and turned it on the next   
   EV>time I want to use it.   
      
   EV>Since then I've HAD to Restart the XP box several times, so today I   
   EV>thought I would try to fool the Found New Hardware thingy.   
      
   EV>I only have one printer connected to the XP box with a USB 2.0 cable   
   EV>but I only turn on the power strip that its AC Power Line Cord is   
   EV>plugged in when I want to use the printer or some other thing that I   
   EV>have plugged into that power strip.

   on the printer until after boot i am not suprised it is thinkign you
