After I looked around more for a solution. I found this post at a tech geek website.
Certainly, this is a method that will fix your problem with the pop-up, and might make your usb ports faster:
"....fixed it by installing sevice pack 2 and booting with no usb devices connected. Then looked in device manager and updated all the usb drivers manualy. Also had a yelloy ? mark higher up on the device manager list - something to do with usb. Updated that driver and everything is fine now. normal usb is only 11mbs high speed is 480mbs so it is important to actually fix this problem properly."
