   After I Shut Down the XP box I had the Printer/AIO on and pressed the   
   power button and a little bit after the desktop came up that "New   
   Hardware" thingy popped up.   
      
   I shut down again and turned the UPS Off and again did what I wrote   
   above and saw the "New Hardware" window again so I figure I'll just   
   live with it whenever I shutdown this XP box.   
      
   Thanks again for the suggestion, I wished it would had worked.
