Doc, go to safe mode again & delete any devices in Device manager relating to the removed card. Don't reboot yet. Run Sysedit & look in all those files, especially System.ini, for any line that seems to relate to that card & put a semicolon in front of it (a REM(space) in autoexec). Look in C:\windows\inf and C:\windows\inf\other for any .inf file that looks like the card's name & change the extension to .in. Then delete the two *.bin files in C:\windows\inf
