You would goto Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Device Manager->Sound, video and game controllers->right click your card and choose Uninstall... My card is named Creative SB Live! series(WDM) so I could right click that and hit Uninstall...
Or you could just disable it.
Or you could disable that PCI slot
Or you could use the Add/Remove Hardware Wizard
Or you could after taking it out disable Plug & Play then put it in. To do that you would goto Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->then right click on Plug and Play and choose properties and disable it. It\'s enabled by default.
I know in XP you can goto services and actuall choose to disable Windows Media Audio and that will do I think exactly what you want. In 2k i really dont know how to do that for i have never needed too.
don\'t know if that is what you mean or not
