thanks Rob,
nothing showed in device manager after clicking the "show
hidden" so i went to the registry.
in the registry i found referrences to the previous
numbers but there were also four other keys in the same
dir that the referrences to the numbers were in. should
i just delete the key that refers to a previous number,
delete the other keys also in the same dir, or just
delete the dir that holds the key with the reference to a
previous number?

thanks again for your help.
Chris
