the generic description seems to be "shared device not found".. mostly 
disconnected network shares and missing printers.. but "new or unknown 
technology found" makes sense, too.. stuff connected via usb or hdmi ports 
that paradox just can't comprehend.. it doesn't understand thumbs.db :-)

Peter,

Thanks SO MUCH for this tip!

Here's a corollary:

I had the same problem, so I explored "This PC" on my system.  However, 
there
were no links there that were dead or otherwise unavailable.

Following in the vein of your idea, I decided to unplug my phone (which was
connected via USB); although the phone WAS accessible via Explorer, removing
the phone FIXED THE PROBLEM.

Aloha,
philiptdotcom
