Remove all you want. I've got 9 entries under Universal Serial Devices for a usb hub which is my thumb drive. Sometimes I just don't have the patience to wait for windows to decide its safe for me to remove it and I just take it out. The multiple listings are a result of that action. On the workstation the thumb appears as 2 entries under HID and 11 usb listings. Am I that impatient or is windows that slow? This happens because when booting, plug and play reads the attached devices and compares them to a table the os keeps listing devices. When devices are changed or the environment changes (my cavalier thumb drive removal) records aren't properly removed or new ones are added. If you eliminate the "extras" whatever is needed will be found on the next boot and added back. So my 4 listings for a single monitor on one machine means nothing. The device manager is showing devices not drivers per se. So you can delete and see if it comes back. Its possible xp sees your printer as 2 devices, for example. If you kill one it will work through the session and either return or not when rebooting. drew ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
