ActivIcons is the app you want, I suspect
http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_aifw.html
WRT DM entries -
in Safe Mode
Remove ALL instances of duplicated devices
Remove ALL error-flagged entries
Remove ALL entries in 'Other Devices'
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall required drivers

Hi Noel
Yes it does.
Many more items listed in sound, video...in DM in safe mode.
The AC97 sound card is there (once only). However, there are several
items
around in various sections of that are listed twice.
Also there are 3 unknown devices that don't appear in DM in normal
start-up.
In fact in Normal start-up there is nothing that shows any error at
all....ive expanded all branches.
Im guessing ur going to tell me to remove any item that shows up twice
in
DM
when in safe mode? I will wait tho...until u tell me.
Thanks for the fast reply and help
Kind Regards
Nigel
NB An after thought (not important)...is there a file that i can save
which
preserves my icon layout in normal mode so that when i use safe mode i
can
then go back to my original icon d/t layout??.. I tent to be icon mad on
the
d/t
Ta !

Have you looked in DM while in Safe Mode? - it may show things not
seen
in
Normal Mode

Hi
As some of u will remember I have flashed my BIOS ( flash bought
from
e-support and specifically for my motherboard). This was because it
was
the
only way I could get my system to see my new 120GIG drive.
My AC97 sound card is shown in Device Manager (with no problems or
conflicts) but not in Multi-media Preferred devices on the audio
tab,
however it is listed on the threads of the device tab. I have no
sound
or
volume control on the t/b.
I have reinstalled the on-board card and it is set to AUTO in the
new
BIOS.
Does it seem a BIOS problem? It obviously looks that way. If so, I
can
leave
it and get support from them.
It seems that Windows is seeing the Sound card and it installs it OK
using
the drivers on my motherboard CD. I have even tried the Microsoft
drivers
but I have read in past messages on here that they dont always work.
I dont understand why it is seen in DM but not in Multimedia.
Everything else is working OK.
I just wondered if there was anything that i had not tried.
Thanks
Nigel
