i have win xp pro. freshly installed on my pc

but always it founds new hardware for which drivers i couldnt find.

the hardware found is "intel aim external tv encder driver 1"

the hard ware found is always the same but only the last digit changes randomly from 1 to 9 .

now i want to install a bluetooth adapter which i cannot because when i click on add new hardware xp returns an error saying that another hardware installation is in progress and cannot therefore install a new hardware.

there are no such hardwares in my pc as detected by xp.

i have had an antivirus scan and adaware scan.

also there are no yellow marks or any other problems in device manager.

pls help

Download and install Service manager and Driver Manager from my signature to look for it with those

[ashish]

i have installed the software and in device manager i think i have found some of the hardware detected at startup but they are set to start manually and right now the status is stopped.

so what i should do , shall i remove them?

also i want to say that there are not al the names of hardwares detected randomly.

for example the hardware detected are AIM externeal tv encoder 1 to 9 or 10 while in the manager only 0 to 4 can be found.

pls suggest

Set the ones you can to disabled, make a note of any changes so you can reverse them, when you have disabled them, reboot, check they are still disabled, and that the PC is running properly, if so, try installing the bluetooth adapter.

i have found one name which if disabled the problem is solved, but another problem starts.

the problem is that i am unable to connect to net via broadband and couldnt start zone alrm pro and also the control panel.

i have also disabled all the AIM names which are detected on startup.

i have AVG antivirus, Ad aware and Zonealarm running for any kind of attacks.

another thing is that the AVG free edition signals that the internal virus database is out of date and when i try to upodate it finds no update and still signals the out of date warning.
