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?

You can temporarily stop UPNP (universal plug n play) - a service accessible via control panel, administrative tools, services. That will prevent XP from installing the software automatically.
