    not sure if this method works in xp but in vista its this

    open cmd prompt

    type SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
    Then type in devmgmt.msc to start up Device Manager from the command prompt
    Once you are in Device Manager, go to the View menu and choose Show Hidden Devices, which will show all the device drivers including things that aren't currently installed in your computer.

    you can right-click on the driver and then choose Uninstall from the menu to remove the drivers for that old hardware.

    1. Goto Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Command Prompt ,Right click it and run as Administrator ,u will need a password for admin ,if u dont have one set then open command prompt and type net user Administrator 1234 ,1234 will be admin password from now on

    2 in command prompt type SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1

    3 then type devmgmt.msc

    4 goto view and select Show Hidden devices

    5 ok now browse through the devices and any thats grayed out are old devices or not connected ones ,now u can uninstall any of the grayed out ones!
