Hi,

Well, that's different. Do you know the make/model of
your PC or even
better the motherboard itself? Post them here if you have
them. You can
disable the device in Device Manager by checking
the "disable in this
hardware profile" box and unchecking the "exists in all
hardware
profiles" box for now, even though it's not the same as
disabling it in
BIOS.


Okay, I did what you suggested and now in the device
manager it has a yellow question mark with a red x which
is what I am guessing is supposed to happen.

As far as the PC goes it is a Compaq 5736 with what I can
only assume is a Compaq manufactured motherboard with VIA
chipset. This PC has not been the easiest to fix and get
fully running probably becuase of its age.
Thanks again
