Troubleshooting and Technical Support
Disabling or Removing the Driver
The following topics describe how to disable or remove a device driver. You need to
disable or remove the old driver before you install the new one.
Disabling the
Windows 98/SE or
ME Device Driver
To temporarily disable the Windows 98/SE or ME driver, follow these steps:
1.
Select Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click the System icon.
2.
Click the Device Manager tab on the System Properties window.
3.
Double-click on Multi-function adapters.
4.
Select the RocketPort/RocketModem and click Properties.
5.
Check the Disable in this hardware profile box on the General tab.
6.
Click OK.
7.
Click Yes to restart the computer so that your changes take effect.
Removing PCI-Bus
Adapters
If you move or remove a PCI-bus adapter without first removing it in Device
Manager, the PC assumes the original board is still installed. You must edit the
registry to correct this.
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 PC, remove the adapter, and reinstall
it in the new slot.
Likewise, if you remove the driver without also removing the adapter, the PC
recognizes the “unknown” PCI device and automatically start the Add New
Hardware wizard when the computer is rebooted.
Removing the
Windows 98/SE or
ME Device Driver
The following procedure describes how to remove the device driver:
1.
Select Start > Settings > Control Panel and double-click the System icon.
2.
Click the Device Manager tab on the System Properties window.
3.
Double-click on Multi-function adapters.
4.
Select the RocketPort/RocketModem to be removed and click the Remove
button.
5.
Click OK to remove the RocketPort/RocketModem from your PC and click
Close to dismiss the Systems Properties window.
6.
If removing Version 1.46 or later, follow these additional steps:
•
From the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
