A: In the Window2000 environment, after installing the drivers for the first time you will get this message. What you will need to do is the following. Press the "Next" button as if you were going to proceed with setting up a new device. Continue to press the "Next" button until you are finished with the installation. You will not see this message appear the next time you reboot. Pressing the "Cancel" button will only allow you to proceed with your normal operation but the pop up box will subsequently appear each and every time you reboot. ****We have run into this issue while testing, but it was on Win95B, 98SE and ME.
