Removing a device

I am trying to install a wirless network card. The computer can't see it.
I have tried a different PCI slot and have tried another card in the slot
(which is immediatley recognised). I have even gone back to the shop and
swapped cards but no difference. In device manger, under imaging device,
there is a camera listed with a yellow exclamation mark beside it. I used
to have this installed but no longer use it. When I try to remove, either
from device manager or from scanners and cameras, the system just freezes
and i have to turn the computer off and on at the mains to reset it.

Any suggestions????????

Reboot to Safe Mode, and delete the device from Device Manager there -
together with all entries in the 'Other Devices' branch.
See if that cures it.

Thanks for that. I have successfully removed the offending item but I still
can't get the computer to recognise my wireless card. Any thoughts?????
