Why does Vista continue to reinstall a device driver
Why does Vista continue to reinstall a device driver after the device, an
antique sound card, has been removed and I have continually deleted the driver through device manager?

Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, designed Vista to reinstall a driver immediately after it is removed - but the device is still physically present. So you probably can disable the card in the dev. manager and just forget about it. Or disable it in the BIOS if it is built into mobo. --PA

Why does Vista continue to reinstall a device driver
mobo = motherboard
You disable a device by finding it in the Device Manager and right clicking on it. Choose "disable" on the context menu. The entry remains and can be re-enabled at some future time but Windows will stop installing the driver. There is probably a left-over registry key referring to the device that is causing the problem but it is simpler just to disable it. "Pendrak" wrote in message ...
