Well I normally refuse to help people with WinXP, but you had something awesome as Windows 2000 in your title, that got my attention. Try removing it manually from program files (or wherever it is), remove it from the registry, use msconfig to disable it at start up, install the proper drivers for your device. Restart.

but as i said i couldn't find the driver anywhere. is there anyway i could find this culprit???

If you don't know the model, try Unknown Hardware Identifier to get the proper name of the device, now that you know that, try with the publishers own site. Note: if there are no drivers for Windows XP whatsoever, use Windows 2000 drivers (not Windows Millennium, that's for the 9x series).

Still i couldn't find the driver. it's getting my nerves. following is the application which run with the startup

AppName: nousb20.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.0 ModName:nousb20.exe
ModVer: 5.1.2600.0 Offset: 00001a2d

you should be able to go to dell's website, type in your PC's model number, and it should give you a full list of available driver downloads for your OS. I agree with Doom, Start > Run > Msconfig > Start up tab, uncheck the box next to the app that is running on startup. reboot.

If the app is not there, then look in your Startup folder in the start menu, it may be sitting there.

I was going to go to the dell site for you, but you didnt post the Alienware model number.

Also, dont ever mix 98 era drivers with any OS that is 2000 or later.

Windows 95b to Windows ME (95b, 95c, 98, 98SE, ME) is NOT NT baised Os, it was at best a modded Win32 subsystem. Windows 2000 and higher (2003 server, XP, 2008 Server, Vista, 7) is all Windows NT. NT and the old Windows OSes are not compatable.

Just FYI, I didnt include the Original Windows 95 and 95a, as how they are still 16 bit OSes.

I could swear that Windows 95 was a 32-bit OS with the ability to run 16-bit apps, wasn't Windows 3.11 (and NT 3.5 if you will) the last fully 16-bit OS from Microsoft?
