3.1 Using Windows explorer open the folder

WINDOWS\system32\drivers

3.2 remove the following files

RcktMf.sys
RcktMfuf.sys

RcktSer.sys

3.3. Locate the folder containing the driver installation files. This is the

folder to which the files were extracted to from the distribution file

WinXPdrv.exe

It makes sense to leave this folder intact unless the R550 /BP550 driver is

never going to be reinstalled in which case delete the contents and the

folder.

4. Removal of Registry Entries

I have found that it is not absolutely necessary to remove the registry entries

for the R550 / BP 550 driver as I have found that they do not affect

subsequent because they are merely overwritten.

However if you really must then:-

4.1 Run regedit

4.2 expand the registry tree

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services

4.3 Remove the following subkeys

Rckt550

RcktMf

Rcktmfuf

The driver files (.sys) and setup information files (.inf and .PNF) are now

removed. After restart, assuming that RocketPort/BroadPort 550 and/or
RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal cards are physically installed then

Windows XP will detect these cards as new hardware and initiate the ‘Add

New Hardware’ wizard.
