Pc keeps detecting devices already installed
I have Win 98 se and every time I restart my pc Windows detects new hardware.
Usually it is the monitor, I just click cancel, but I had to remove several instances of the monitor under device manager. Also, on start up, the initial black screen in DOS which lists installed devices, I have two exact listings of my cd-rom device. How do I correct this? I have a Packard Bell Legend Supreme 1985 pc w/ 333 AMD K6-2 processor that has 3DNow! technology and I recieve error messages that no 3d devices are detected when trying to run some screensavers. Any advice for any of the above problems will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Blondeheat2000 |

I suggest that you boot in safe mode and where there are duplicate devices
in device manager, delete ALL the devices. Then reboot and let Windows redetect the devices. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Blondeheat2000" wrote in message ...
