Default "Cannot Run Two Device Installations"

I can't install any new hardware on my Win XP Home PC. Getting above message saying:

"You can install only one device at a time, when it is finished you can try this wizard again".

I wouldn't call this neither wizard nor "plug and play" system.

I am definitely not doing two installations, just powering up PC and trying to install a new printer! I tryed all ideas I could find on the net - none did help! Try cleaning junk files, registry etc. I desparately need help.

Thanks, MP

What kind of printer are you trying to install on your Windows XP Home PC?

Do all your other devices meet the Windows XP Hardware Compatibility
requirements? Does the printer (and the printer drivers) meet the Windows
XP Hardware Compatibility requirements?

Have you looked at the Windows XP Event Logs?
