"Although there is no way to prevent Windows95 from detecting and installing drivers for some devices, you can disable certain devices that may be causing conflicts. The lack of a feature to remove an item from the list of detected devices (when you use Add/Remove Hardware) is quite irritating and confusing, but problems can usually be averted by following these steps."
- Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.
- Click the Device Manager tab, and select the device you wish to disable.
- Click the Properties button, un-check Original Configration, and click OK.
