Just as a rule of thumb, whenever you see multiple devices listed in the
device manager, you cannot just remove one, but you must remove all multiple
listings. Then when you reboot, it should just find the one device, and set
up appropriately. And even better yet, do this in safe mode, you will many
times see even more listings of those devices in Device Manager, than what
is showing in the Normal Device manager. For example, I recently was having
problems with some USB card readers in a system, they were shown only once
in Regular mode, But... when in safe mode, there were 6 listing for one
reader, and 4 for the other. So remove all instances of multiple listings in
device manager in SAFE Mode as well, and Reboot!!

Good Luck....
