Uninstalling old drivers and devices
If you are in any doubt about carrying out this procedure, consult a competent computer technician!

solution is remove all the drivers related to the old devices before installing the new driver. Make sure you delete
programs and drivers relating to old, unused and similar devices and nothing else.
1. Enter Windows 'Safe Mode' (press F8 when starting Windows and then select 'Safe Mode' from the menu which
will be displayed).
2. Click on 'Start – Settings – Control Panel' and double-click on 'Add/Remove Programs' icon.
3. Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on the 'Add/Remove' button. In
'Safe Mode', it is possible for some programs to appear twice - remove all programs which appear twice.
