Disable A Piece of Hardware via Software?

[Richard Towler]

is there a util which can disable a piece of hardware in your computer? just a temp disable, which you can re-enable which a click of a button? reason I ask is, I posted before about running 2x gfx cards but one won't work with the other installed, even in hardware-device manager if you disable it still won't work as it should do.

yup, windows device manager

Right click my computer, properties, hardwar, device manager and disable what you want to

*edit, just read the last bit of your post, sorry don't know
