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.

I have windows vista and I am trying to install an older version of xp which is 2002 but for some reason it says “Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered.”
