As a previous Microsoft tech support agent, I can tell you one thing from
experience, and that is that Plug and play will always be tricky.

The device manager is a really great, interface, but it can hide things on
you. It doesn't always tell the truth, so you have to trick it.

For instance, let's say your Sound card is "skipping", if you run the steps
below, the skipping may go away.

Do this:

1. Go into Control Panel
2. Remove all devices in that component (don't just do that blindly, of
course, know what you are removing)
3. Restart to a F8 boot
4. Enter into Safe Mode
5. Go back into Control Panel
6. Enter into device Manager.

In some cases, you will see extra devices for that component. Remove them
from there, and then restart, going back to normal mode.

Good Luck

device mangler hiding stuff. :-)
