How to permanently remove ghost my computer's usb drive?

I have a hp mini tower running vista home premium 64-bit. I have several usb devices connected. I noticed that a week ago, that when I opened the folder on the computer, a disk of mass storage is displayed which does not exist.

Can I stop or remove safely which removes the drive icon. But when I restart the computer later, Ghost drive letter appears again. I even tried to delete the driver who, again, don't work only temporarily. I even made a full recovery, but the drive appears again.
What can I do to permanently remove this ghost of my computer drive? Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give me.

  • How can I remove a temporary computer-to-computer network?

    I created a temporary computer-to-computer local network connection in an attempt to transfer files between two computers (which was unfortunately unsuccessful). However, the network is still there and I want to remove for security reasons. How can I remove a network that I put in place? I checked the troubleshooting guides and there doesn't seem to be any information.   Two computers are still in close range (I don't think that our House is still big enough to get out of the beach), and I clicked 'save the network' when I did. I am running Vista.
    any help would be great

    Open the Control Panel and go to network and sharing Center. Click Customize to the right of the current network in network and sharing Center , and then click merge or delete network locations at the bottom of the screen again. Merge or delete as you wish.

    You will also need to click on manage network connections on the left in the network and sharing Center and remove the network you want.

  • How to permanently remove startup items

    I deleted a program of video driver I have problems with, which was associated with a new video card, I installed. The program had installed a notice in the "Start menu" that the two files are not found. The removal of the program did not remove these notices.  Now every time I start the computer, they pop up.  I tried to run "msconfig", but as anyone who tries it learns, it is always not remove their startup.  AreNvMcTray.dll & C:\windows\system32\nvcpl.dll files both must have been located (C:\Windows\system32\), but were not.  My question is how do you permanently delete their startup?

    Unless this Nvidea graphics card was defective your installation of the software and the drivers for card Nvidea was defective/incorrect and your driver and software uninstall failed.

    So did you initially followed the correct procedure for installing the new graphics card and its associated driver/software, which means generally uninstall drivers provided by the previous card, or was it an integrated graphics chip, and if that were the case, it was necessary in your bios to disable the graphics card integrated or is your motherboard type that turns off automatically the embedded If a card is installed.

  • How to permanently remove all search engines with a single click from Firefox 36.0.1 except Startpage?

    Whenever I start a session in Firefox, I have to remove google search engine, because he re seems over and over and over again, no matter what I do. Is there a permanent fix to just disappear for ever from my browser?
    Thanks in advance

    Do you mean that Google appears in the search bar, or in the search box on the home page of Firefox integrated? Or do you mean that Google buy your homepage?

    If Google replaces your homepage to start even if you have changed it in your previous session, there are a variety of possible reasons. This article describes some of them: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    Another reason is as Advanced SystemCare or commercial software with a homepage protection function: it will cancel changes to browser settings to protect you from unwanted changes. But he doesn't know who is wanted and those that are not, then it undoes any changes. If you like this software, disable this feature, at least until you get Firefox works the way you want.

  • How to permanently remove it from the event log in the CSA MC

    I run the Cisco Secure Agent 4 deployed on 4 PCs I have enabled documented logging just because it's a test environment & I wanted to see how many events it would generate. Well, last I checked CSA MC (under summary of events) it has more than 300,000 (it's just 300 000) events recorded. I have modified the event handler and applied the new rules, but the machine™ is slooooow both because of more than 300,000 events. Please see the screenshot joint. How do I permanently purge the event log. I used the purge within the CSA MC command but it removed only 10,000 events. The machine is slow so that I can do nothing about it.

    Well, I wanted to send the screenshot, but the machine is slow I can't even attach the file. But in all cases, the problem is that the window summary displays message of more than 300,000 events & I need for permannently remove events.

    Thank you.

    Was the only one I know how is to use "events" and click all events. From there, you can click or purge the events of your choice.

    Also, what are the specifications of server you use?

    I have been involved with MCs with more than 2 x what you have & this server is satisfactory product.

    Hope this helps,
