Removing the Windows 95/98 Device Driver

There are two parts to removing a RocketPort or RocketModem:
removing the adapter, and removing the driver.

1.

Access the System Properties window.

2.

Select the Device Manager tab.

3.

Double-click on Multi-function adapters.

4.

Select the RocketPort/RocketModem to be removed and click the
Remove button.

5.

Click OK, then Close.

6.

From the Control Panel program group, select Add/Remove
Programs
.

7.

Select Comtrol RocketPort/RocketModem and click Add/Remove.

8.

Click OK.

9.

Shut down the computer, switch off the power, and physically
remove the RocketPort or RocketModem.

Note: Removing the device driver software does not remove the

Comtrol program group. To remove the program group from the
Start button menu, see the instructions for “Customizing the
Start Menu” in the Windows help system.

Removing PCI-Bus Adapters

PCI-bus I/O addresses are slot-specific. If you want to move a PCI-bus
adapter from one slot to another, you must use Device Manager to
remove the board first, then shut down the system, remove the
adapter, and reinstall it in the new slot.

If you move or remove a PCI-bus adapter without first removing it in
Device Manager, the system “thinks” the original board is still
installed and you must edit the registry to correct this.

Likewise, if you remove the driver without also removing the adapter,
the system will recognize the “unknown” PCI device and automatically
start the Add New Hardware wizard each time the computer is
rebooted.
