   Suggest you first boot up in safe mode and do a Registry clear out as
suggested in the PC Notes, June issue, of Sound On Sound (SOS) magazine,
currently online at -

   BTW, there's loads of stuff at the SOS site in the way of tips - PC,
Mac and even Atari,  There might even be something there that answers
your question directly so search their archives.

   What I've done to overcome the Plug and Play thing is to go into
Control Panel/System/Device Manager. Select and Right click on the
devices I want disabled, select properties and then 'disable...'. Reboot
for settings to take effect.
   This is how I've been doing it anyway. Maybe someone else has a
more elegant solution.  

   Somethings, motherboard devices for instance, can be disabled in the
Bios but this will affect all boot arrangements.  

   What I'd like to know from Mac owners is why one never hears of
dual booting being necessary for their platform - what is it about the
Mac OS that bypasses the need for a clean partition for audio? Also, why
is virtual memory discouraged for audio on the Mac but not on PC?
