The message is not about a device (in the old system I had a crystal isa sound card)
but about
PCI-Standard ISA Bridge.There are no references to the Crystal device in the Registry
(I deleted them and did a regclean) and there is no reference to Crystal in
the device manager. My question is why does Win want to load this bridge. Is there
still some reference to the ISA sound card? If so where is it?
