ok, not a major problem but it still bugs me and I would like to "fix" it. About a month ago I needed to scan a few receipts with my HP scanjet 4200c scanner. I pulled it out of the closet and hooked it up. XP found it but could not install the software. I tried compatibility mode to run the HP software, but it did not work. Next I removed the scanner, and ordered the XP scanner software CD from HP. here is the odd part... I have this little icon on my task bar that says "Safely Remove Hardware" and it will not go away. The thing just sits there and taunts me! Now that I have the updated software and the scanner attached, how do I remove the icon?

ABIT KX333-R
AMD 2100+
1024 mb pc2100 ddr (a bit overkill I know)
Windows XP Professional (no SP installed)
Windows update is up to date except SP1
HP Scanjet 4200C
I will list the rest of the specs if needed

Thanks,
Dan
