Not all at once, but its not hard to uninstall the redundant device entries one at
a time - probably won't take much longer than reading this post :-)
BTW those are not "drivers" they are instances of the device. Duplicate instances
will share one driver file.

I'm kind of curious as how that mess was created.

My guess is that his computer is a complete "basket case."

From the looks of the list in the screen cap I am going to take a shot in the dark
computer installs a new copy of the USB and SCSI drives every time they are connected
while keeping the old ones for a while, or maybe clearing them every reboot. no real
reason at all for it to be doing so i can think of. so yes, that guess may well be
right.

That would be my guess too, but I've never seen anything like it, nor have I ever
seen anyone post a similar problem. But then probably most users never even open
the Device Manager.

Ingorance really can be bliss.
Happy the user who never fools around with Registry keys, or tries to "clean" it,
who never looks for hidden and system files, who doesn't hunt around for what can
safely be deleted, who never opens Control Panel and who doesn't even know what defragmentation
is !
