Add hardware Wizard

When I click Add Hardware option in Printers and Other Hardware screen, I get
an Info Box that says "Cannot run two device installations - You can only
install one device at a time. Another device installation is underway, when
it is finished you can try this wizard again." I do not have anyother
hardware installations going on - that I know of. I get this every time I
select the Add Hardware option. I think this is behind the problems I am
having getting the computer to recognize digital cameras.

Start | Run | hdwwiz.cpl <enter>
see if that works for you.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I got the same result when I opened the Add
Hardware wizard that way. It is like there is some installation running that
I cannot find.

What happens if you let the first one finish? Also look in Device
manager for any devices with a yellow ?.
