Yea, that's the kicker, it doesn't say what it's installing. I'm not adding
anything to it like a printer or usb hub or anything like that. I tried
reinstalling the intel chipset software and that went ok but it still
prompted me, even in safe mode. BUT...I updated the BIOS and it went away,
so I have no clue what it was trying to install.

Thanks though!
