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

Win2Kdrv.exe

It makes sense to leave this folder intact unless the R550 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 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 550 or

RocketPort/BroadPort 550 Universal cards are physically installed then

Windows 2000 will detect these cards as new hardware and initiate the ‘Add

New Hardware’ wizard.
