Put the card into the slot that you want to delete, find the device in
Device Manager, right click it and select "Uninstall". Remove the device
before scanning for new hardware. Repeat for each device/slot combination
you want to remove.

in" and delete some of these PnP drivers. In one instance I had a
problem with a woreless card, and I could not get it fixed. I finally
could make it work by putting it into the other Card Slot, but
eventually I had to reinstall windows and then of course the problem
went away and I could use the card in the original slot again.
