Add Hardware

Why doe's win98se keep automatically reinstalling hardware
that I don't need and don't want.After I deleate
something,the next time I start windows It puts it
back.I'll start my computer and it will give me a message
saying windows has found Glockenspiel, we are now
installing. Then I'll get message like, After long hard
search we have found Jimmy Hoffa, please insert
disc.Meanwhile we have moved or deleated some things that
you would find usefull if you want to stay on internet
more than five minutes.Is this designed into windows?

If you're serious about the events and names, you better run a full system virus
scan with fully up to date defs and preferably a DOS based one. It looks as if you've
been hacked.

Windows finds the physical hardware you've told device
manager to delete on every reboot... if you want to stop
it then physically remove the hardware first or instead of
removing it in device manager right click the item(s) and
disable them instead... either way your problem is solved.

You could have found the same information in the help file
structure of your PC if you'd looked.
