When I try to use the add hardware wizard. I get the error cannot run two device installations at the same time. Try again when first installation has finished.
I know of nothing that is being installed and the system works OK.
Is there any way I can find out what is apparently failing to instal properly and blocking the wizard.
Thanks

Thanks for the responses.
I always get the error even if I just select the wizard from sys properties hardware.
Plug and play works but I have to finish installing drivers manualy.
The only problem in device manager is with something under other devices/unknown device PCI standard ISA bridge this is cannot start code 10. Ihave tried unistal/reinstal no effect.
I have disabled this for some time now with no effect on my system. This appears in sys devices as ISApnp read data port.
Sorry this is so long
Length is not a problem - at least not on this board it's details we need to be able to help.
Have you recently installed XP ?
Does your m/b have a VIA chipset - it could be that you need to update the VIA 4 in 1 drivers for the chipset. Also for Intel chipsets, but the mention of ISA bridge sounds a bit like a basic Windows driver.
One suggestion - check your bios settings and look for an update from your mobo's site.
Thank you PeteC
Win XP came already installed 2 years ago.
My M/B is an ASUS A7V266-E, VIA KT266A (n)
VIA VT8233 (s), it has no ISA slots.
I have checked the BIOS but I am not too sure what I am looking for but seems OK to me.
I will check for VIA updates, Thanks again

The last thing I installed was a Wacon tablet. It went OK o P&P but to make it work I had to install the drivers manually. This is generally the case.
Even with nothing to instal if I select the wizard I get the message that another item is being installed try again when it is finished. It never finishes. Is there no way of identifing what is being installed?

If I click on Add Hardware in the control panel I get the same message, only one device can be installed at the same time etc
I have downloaded a BIOS update but I am a bit nervous of attempting it.
