    My computer crashed I basically lost all my files and even the OS was corrupted. I put in the recovery cd I made and everything worked fine, except now every time I turn it on an unknown device tries to install itself I have no other device pluged in so I though hey might be something in my computer like the TV tuner. So I went ahead an attempted to install the driver. Then I get this error message "windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. JMB38X SD/MMC Host Controller Driver is not intended for this platform." Any idea guys?

    What OS are you running? From a quickie google search it looks like that driver is for a card reader device - do you have such a beastie on your system?
