Restore Devices to Found New Hardware

When I connected a device (my Handspring Visor handheld) to my new Vista PC
for the first time, the "Found New Hardware" window came up asking to
install drivers for it. I accidentally clicked the "Don't show this message
again for this device". How do I get Vista to try to install drivers for
this device again?

Thanks,
Jonathan

RE: Restore Devices to Found New Hardware

Go to start, or the round thing, lol, right-click on computer, left-click on
properties in the menu that pops up. In the next window, click on DEVICE
MANAGER under TASKS on the left hand side at the top of the window. Device
manager window pops up. Then pick out your hardware piece and right-click on
it, then left-click on properties in the menu that pops up. The second tab
across the top should hace the DRIVERS playground.
A lot of popping and menus!
