Uninstall hardware help

[jonny1leg]

Not sure if this is a bit off topic, but the only time this problem is a probem(?) is when im playingBF2. I'm New to PC’s and afraid I am still very much a beginner, I own a Compaq presario pc (I know now) that I’ve been upgrading over the last 6 months or so.

Ive added an nvidia 6800gt (AGP)

An extra 512mb of ram

A Tagan 430w psu

And a creative xfi xtreme sound card.

Everything has been fine but after installing the sound card a few weeks ago I’ve been having a few issues with the in game voip And the PC has cut out a couple of times.

Because the motherbaoard is small(it only has three pci slots, one is covered by the fan on the side of my agp card and another contains a card with lots of bus adaptor and enumerators on which I’m informed is a sister board/card, an extension to the motherbaoard) I had to put the sound card in the only other available slot which contained a 1394 Host controller/link layer control and a soft modem card. The sound card is fine but the voip will start playing up when being put under heavy demand.

I only realized a couple of days ago that I had to uninstall the old card that was previousley in the pci slot…

I managed to uninstall the soft modem and the 1394 Host controller/link layer control in the device manager. YES!! Only problem is, when I reboot I get a pop up saying new hardware found and they both reappear in the device manager...

AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Any idea how to uninstall them permanantly?

Thanks : )

Remove the card(s) from the computer completely, especially if you are't/never use them.

If the cards are pulled then there should be nothing for Windows to detect. Are you sure that the modem and 1394 are cards and not actually attached to the board. If that is the case, then you need to go into the bios, locate them and disable from there.
