Disable new hardware announcement
I just got a new laptop as a graduation gift. It came with Vista Home Premium installed. However due to problems playing video's with VLC and no reason to stay with Vista I downgraded to XP. (I got the restoration disks to go back to vista)

I found and installed most of the drivers for the laptop. There are 4 things in device manager that aren't set up, "Ethernet Controller","Mass Storage Controller","SM Bus Controller" and "Modem on High Definition Audio Bus". Now the laptop is working fine and I am working to get the right drivers. However it gets fairly annoying because every time I turn the system on the new hardware wizard pops up for "Modem on High Definition Bus" Is there some way I can turn off this notification?


(I have the driver for the modem but after I run the installation it acts like I didn't. I'm looking into it)
