A great tip for you here!

Open notepad or whatever text editor you use and type the following

Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start %systemroot%\system32\devmgmt.msc

save the file with a .bat extension.
When you run the batch file it will automatically open device manager and display all hidden devices including old drivers you have installed.
