Sorry about the repost of this.I removed it from My Computing but looks like its still posted.I needed to edit scence the edit feature don't work i decided to just delete and repost.Please don't remove this post.Im not trying to break rules.I forgot to put something in my post.So here is the post. I took this off Networking fourm.I know it mentions a issue with the card.But i think it could be the sound makeing it act this way. Sometimes when i click the e to connet to the internet ie opens and all i see is a white screen for a min.This also happens if i open in a new window.D LINK said to put card in first PCI slot.I did that it didn't seem to help.Also i had to disable the com 2 port because there was a yellow (!) by the soundcard.I think my motherboard would be compatable because it has 5 PCI slots.the soundcard was on the first PCI but i moved it to try what D-LINK said.Nothing seemed to work so im posting here.Everything works very good with Windows XP Pro.So nothing is wrong with card.I have reenabled the com2 port.Is there anything else i can do besides disableing something?I had a different networkcard that gave same problem so it not the card.You can go to this link to see the problem.Thats why i removed it from network fourm. http://www.geocities.com/garrett8273/system_properties.jpg

Well i thought that when you check the delete box on the MyComputing that it removes it from fourm.I htought i deleted this post off Networking fourm but it seems to still be there.Oh well.Again im sorry about the mixup.

not sure if this will help...but I would try booting to safe mode, then getting into system properties > device manager (like your pic)...then, one at a time, start clicking on the devices & see what's listed. For example, click CD ROM...if your device is listed once, it should be fine...BUT if you find that it's listed more than once, remove ALL entries. Go right down the list (disk drive, display adapter, etc) & do that with all devices...if listed more than once, remove ALL entries...reboot & let Windows reconfigure itself...

Thats been done before.Not in safemode but its been done.No need for safemode.

Oops sorry thought this was my post.Had a shortcut on desktop that came right to it.

Yes, it HAS to be done in safe mode...if done in normal windows mode, only one device listing will appear in device manager...checking it in safe mode may show multiple entries

Ok ive looked in safe mode.Everything looks ok.No yellow (!) by anyhting.I forgot to check for double entries.Anymore suggestions before going there?I don't like playing aroung in safe mode.
