Question? Were the devices removed properly?
Was the display adapter removed from device manager, and the system shutdown before removing the actual card?

If not, that is at the root of your problem.

Your best bet to correct the problems will be to re-install the old devices, and remove them the proper way.

I all but guarantee that the services are being called from the registry.
The XP registry is a lot more complex than the W98 registry.
Every piece of hardware that I have swapped around in my XP box is still listed in the registry!

Did you search the registry using just a simple string like ATI or was it a longer search term?

You can also run msconfig to check for startup and system file calls for the removed hardware.

Another option, would be to run a registry clean up tool, such as Norton WinDoctor, or OnTrack Fix-It.
Just make sure that you are using the latest version.

Thank you. By checking Google I was able to locate the full file name and this permitted me to find them in the registry. I could then remove the ATI entries. In the case of the awlegacy Google the vendors site where I downloaded a missing DDL (pcAnywhere).
