deleting duplicate entries in device managers

I've gotten the blue screen of death with an OE error having to do with VxD. I looked
through the archives and I deleted duplicate entries in the device manager. That seemed
to solve the problem, then the BSOD came back. I went back to the device mgr and found
that several duplicate items that I deleted came back. They are in the "System Devices"
folder - "IRQ Holder for PCI Steering" and "Motherboard Resources"

Hopefully this will narrow down my problem, and I apologize for the multiple posts on the
same problem.

Duplications in those entries is quite normal - you need to look elsewhere
for your problem

Did you delete all the entries? If an item in device manager is duplicated,
I find it most useful to delete the item as well as the duplicates and just
let it reinstall.

Hi,
I had 2 of everything in my computer-Control panel.
I ran scan disk ( under options-selected though).
It cleaned up the doubles in control panel.
Hope this helps.
