found new hardware pops-no hardware present

Hi all,

I loaded a pci device driver , but there was some problem with the driver,
so the system was giving

BSOD…Unable to load the driver…

so I deleted the driver file from \winnt\system32\drivers

and I removed the card too…

When I reboot it again, it still displays…

“Found new hardware” installing and the system restart itself …

I am not able to guess what could be problem…

pls help…

thanx,

shiv

How about another piece of hardware that had nothing to do with the first
adapter/driver problem.

Hi ,

Since you couldn’t uninstall the driver … there has to be an entry in the
registry for the PCI card U had installed. U try & delete that too.

Moreover when ya installed the driver did U copy it somewhere on the
machine… in that case u might have specified that path even to the
hardware wizard. U need to move or delete ur driver from that location
too… or else since windows stores that location in the registry ur driver
will be called every time u boot the system. I feel this might be the
primary reason.

To be on safer side u can also delete that entry from reagistry…

CurrentControlSet\ENUM\PCI\VEN_ID&DEV_ID
