How do I stop Windows Vista from automatic finding a driver for a device such as a new device?

windows driver


I have a Winfast PVR2000 PCI card that I try to plug it into my computer. Once I set the card inside the computer, I turn the computer and Windows automatic find the drivers for it. The problem is I don’t want it to install a driver. In XP you get to chose whether or not to allow Windows to try to look up a driver and install it automatically. Is there a way to stop it from search and install.
I tried:
-Right Click the icon and no additional menu pop up to stop it.
-Open the status of the installation, no other option beside “Hide” the window.
Conclusion: Any idea where can change the settings of automatic search and install driver.
