Removal of .inf files and Device

B

for PCMCIA Card Applications

These instructions are for users of Microsoft Windows 95

/

98/Me* who want to remove any of the following from their

computer:

• Data Acquisition PCMCIA cards, such as the Daq/112B, Daq/216B and DigiCard/24.
• Parallel Port PCMCIA cards, such as WBK20, EPPCard/1, DBK35, and LPTCard/1.

*Note: If your computer makes use of a different operating system, such as Windows 2000, or Windows XP, the

removal process will be similar in that (1) you will remove the .inf file and (2) you will remove the device
from the device manager; however, the graphic user interface (GUI) differences will be noticeable.

Perform the following steps, in sequence, to fully remove the applicable configuration from the computer.

1) Remove the .INF file

Use care to avoid deleting configuration files that you want to maintain, such as modems,
network cards, and other PCMCIA devices.

This portion of the procedure involves locating the applicable .inf file and removing it. Note that if you do not
see the .INF directory folder listed (after completing step “c” below) use the View pull-down menu, select
Options, then select Show all Files.

(f) After locating the Oem files (step e), check each file for the applicable IOtech card (or adapter) that you

want to remove. Once you locate the correct Oem file, delete it. A portion of an IOtech Oem file follows
as an example.
