I have a Dell Dimension 8200 with windows XP Prof SP2 installed. This
morning I was going thru Device Manager and when clicking on View, Show
Hidden Devices, I noticed varies phantom or faint colored icons for some of
the devices. When right clicking on the faint colored icons, selecting
properties, some of the information is as follows: "Currently this Hardware
is not connected to the computer, code 45."
I found phantom devices in the following categories. Is it safe to delete
these entries?? Any help would be very much appreciated, Sam
