Disable automatic install for Hardware by leito on 01-17-2005 at 05:24 AM
Hi all, I'm trying to install a Bluetooth USB adapter. The manual says I have to plug the adapter, and "Install,from a list or specific location (Advance)", but I can't get there, because Windows install its automatically from the Windows Database.
I try to go to the device manager and update the drivers but 4 different devices were installed and a updated will not work.
I think I need to disable automatic installation of hardware in XP. Do you know how to do it?

Before you go disabling automatic installation, check to see if it works. If it does, then Windows already has the correct drivers.
