842515 2009-12-23 06:19:00 its been a while but i have this problem with (specifically) device manager (and probably the others eg drive management crashes too). being that it stops responding when i try to remove hardware from the list, refresh the list or otherwise work with the hardware devices in the manager, also its not picking up a USB MP3 player and a virtual CD drive is stuck in the drive listings
*sighs*

842517 2009-12-23 06:48:00 its a game, but usually removing the virtual drive association from magicdisc removes it. also usually when i close the notebook lid it makes the hardware remove sound, now its not. i will reboot and see what happens. it probably started doing it when i tried installing an old USB scanner. williamF (115)
