Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver - keeps installing on boot

Most times when I start my PC, I get the message that a driver for MS WPD FileSystem Volume Driver is needed. Windows searches and installs from the Internet. Takes a couple of minutes. Doesn't seem to do any harm, but it's really annoying.
What is this driver, and why does it keep reinstalling?

Thanks
Andrew

I see it seems no one else has this problem but us. I keep having the same issue. Yes you are correct it is annoying. Surely someone has and answer.

I've sort of come up with a solution - go back to XP!
I'm astonished how much faster everything is.

Hi Andrew,
I am having exactly the some problem -= what i also notice is that every second time it installs ok but i noticie no difference in performance - did you get any helpful advice?

Wow! I'd forgotten all about this.
Since posting, I went back to XPx64 which I'm still working with.
However, I've also installed Vista x64 a second time on the same PC in dual boot just to see if Vista ever gets good enough to bother working with (not to date).

I'm not getting the problem any more - the only difference is that I'm running Vista BUSINESS SP1 now, whereas before I was running Vista ULTIMATE.

I've no way of knowing whether it's SP1 or the change of version that has removed the error.

Thanks - one can only hope that someone in MS will wake up to the fact we are not happy chappies and send us yet another update.

I'm having this problem on my HP Pavilion Laptop. Vista Home Premium. UGH Nope, I can't go back to xp. I spent a lot of money on this new system which came with this OS. Get it together Gates.

Go to Device manager and uninstall it then restart the computer it should re install and work fine.
