Can't Remove Network Adapter(s)

Hey guys, I've got a little problem and it's really bugging me. I have some unused and no longer installed network adapters but Device Manager says I still have them.

Link to screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/244748/devmgmt.JPG

The ones with a yellow exclamation point are the ones I want to delete. The uninstall function doesn't seem to work. Anyone got any ideas?

Safe mode doesn't work. I really don't want to re-install.

Odds are the entries aren't doing any sort of harm anyway. Right?

But stay tuned, maybe someone else will have an idea.

Have you uninstalled the software that put them there in the first place?
