I have Windows 98SE and the New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up on startup I hit cancel and go to the device manager and thier are no devices listed that need drivers.
I don't have any new hardware what could be causing this?

Start in Safe mode, open Device Manager, and remove any "ghost" devices which are listed but not installed.
