I got this issue, and it is only annoying since I forgot the old method of taking car of it...old timers disease and all that guff...
I have a Dell C640 laptop...runs fine. I decided to try out the cricket broadband service. I installed a new USB 2.0 cardbus, and it checks out dandy.
I tried using this Coolmax laptop cooler with "extra" USB ports(2.0), and hooked up the Cricket modem. Things went, as the group Fight says "Just a little crazy.."
Now I have these multiple instances of the same hardware, the Cricket. I tried uninstalling them on by one, but got nowhere. Tried safe mode: nada.
I can't remember how to get those extras out. I tried search here, but maybe I was too lame with the criteria.
I believe those other instances are causing problems.
Help a Bruther out?

Just throwin' my two cents in...maybe that's what it's worth!
Cryinbrian--I know nothing about Cricket. If I saw what your screen shot shows, I would not think these are "duplicates". They are different versions of some software.
"I believe those other instances are causing problems."
Well, that could be a different matter. Like what problems? And why do you think this is associated with Cricket?
Open Device Manager. Click View. There is the option to display Hidden Devices. Click it.
