Peripherals duplication?

[Chris Mitchell]

On 32-bit Win XP SP3, Speccy 1.07.205 shows many more peripherals than I have, mostly as a result (I guess) of reading the way that Windows holds the info. For example, here's the mouse and keyboard entries:

Both of these are USB devices, there's nothing plugged into the PS/2 ports, so I'm puzzled as to why these should show up... Any thoughts as to whether this will be fixed or fixable?

 

Thanks in advance,

Try starting the computer in safe mode

now open device manager and delete the non-existant hardware
