Windows XP keeps asking me to re-boot.
I installed a dual boot for Windows XP Professional and Vista Business. I used Partition Magic to partition the hard drive. Everything works fine, except that when I boot with Windows XP, I keep getting the message:
Windows has finished installing new devices. The software that supports your device requires that you restart your computer. You must restart your computer before the new settings will take effect.
When I reboot, I keep getting the message over and over again. Â How do I fix this?
