How to Remove all Trace of Old Hardware and Its Driver?

[andymanis]

I need to completely remove all trace of a pci device as i suspect its lingering remenants are causing a conflict with another card which causes it to blue screen.

Ive tried searching for the individual driver files and deleting them but when i plug the old card in, in device manager it still knows what type of card it is and its name but it just comes up with the yellow ! as it cant install it properly, probably because i delted some of the river files.

So can someone tell me how i can completely remove all referance to the old device so its is completely clear of it?

its windows server 2003. The device is a pci serial card.

! was installed but doesnt function properly so removed. A brand new one was bought, a startech one and once you install the drivers and reboot it blue screens until you physically remove the startech card.

I'll try CCcleaner, didnt think to try that
