I loaded a device driver by mistake and windows XP disables it everytime I
boot up. I would like to remove it; But I can't figure out how. When I
removed the application, it left the driver in, trying to load everytime I
boot.

Thank you so much for help on this,

Don

Thanks, Rick,

This driver has been trying to load for a very long time. I wouldn't know
what point to go back to. I would be afraid I would loose more than I would
gain.
