insanity: n. Doing the same thing over and over, believing you will get different
results.
Your current technique (Bob is going down the same path)
ASSuMEs that the driver for the errant device is pliant and does PnP nicely.
The article you referenced assumes exactly the OPPOSITE
and suggests that the drivers(s) for THE OTHER DEVICE(S) are more pliant.
(If there is a CONFLICT, surely there must be 2 devices with yellow marks.)
The article suggests that removing the device driver for the OTHER DEVICE
and re-installing IT may clear the problem.
Did you try that?
Barring the appearance of a 2nd yellow mark, the article suggests that
removing ALL innecessary installed devices may clear the problem
and that re-installing THOSE devices will go more smoothly
than re-installing the stubborn device.
It doesn't sound at all like you tried that.

A hardware approach sometimes works to clear conflicts.
Power down your box.
Pull the side off.
Following good anti-static electricity techniqies,
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win98/1127346860
remove the 1 screw[1] that secures the card to the chassis and lift out the card.
Plug it into a slot of similar color and shape and secure the card.
[1] Usually a Phillips or 1/4" hex head.
