That was it!! THANK you! The Unifying software had stored those devices in there as paired devices (even though they are never used anymore). I feel silly for not checking that first. Thank you, Saltgrass!

Also, new development: as soon as I restart my machine, all devices reappear in the "Devices and Printers" window, as well as Device Manager. Very puzzling.

I refreshed my device manager, and they DID show up this time for some reason. When I uninstall the ones I suspect are showing up in cpanel, everything disappears except the two identical keyboards. Showing hidden devices doesn't reveal anything keyboard/ mouse related.

I have a few different unwanted devices showing up in the devices section of my "Devices and Printers" window within control panel (see attached). I can't remove them. Printers have the option of "remove device," if you right click, but the devices do not have that option. How do I remove...

So get this!!!.... Idling with no other apps or services running, Win7 uses around 40% of my memory; but when I have outlook, firefox, and windows media player running actively, it only is at 22% consumption. WTF mate!!?

I HIGHLY recommend the following: Move to Wisconsin.

When I get home I will take a stick out and see how that affects the available/usable ratio. Next month I'll buy some more RAM, add it, and see if that does anything as well. If you're able to take a stick out and see what it says, I'd be curious to know that as well. I would inquire as to...

Hey... it's better than mine, I have 6gigs of RAM installed in x64 as well, but only 4 of mine are "usable". Haven't been able to figure out why.:mad: This is completely guessing, but maybe Windows hordes RAM to use exclusively for itself, leaving whatever is left over to non-windows processes...

I'm running Windows 7 build 7057 64-bit. I've disabled UAC, tried putting it on the 2nd to lowest level, and removed the windows experience reporting non-sense, but explorer.exe always crashes whenever I toll-tip my mouse over the wireless network taskbar icon. Any ideas?:confused:
