Default Unistalling "drivers"?

add, remove, reboot, repeat. No joy.

I *do* have this phantom CD on my system that when I disable, the machine
restarts all by itself. Coincidence?

Thanks for that. But, after I wrote the message I realized that "add
remove programs" has the drivers, so, I removed them that way.

I'm still stuck at an unrecognized USB device. My Windows 7 Notebook can
see it, but the XP desktop cannot.

Stuck.

I have two cellular phones, one made by Motorola and the other made by
LG.

At first I tried to download Motorola's "modem" driver to my Windows
Home XP SP3 machine. There really wasn't much I could do, except try and
transfer songs and such. However my PC did not "see" or connect to the
device.

No bother, I am trying another device, the LG EnV3. There are two
"driver" versions of a driver for the phone - version 4.8.4 and 4.9.4.
And, taking the easy way out, ran the executable for both.

Of course after running, "neither" was able to "see" the phone.

1) How do "uninstall" drivers? I'd like to try and uninstall all 3 and
then reinstall the latest LG one

Hopefully this might work.

When the bubble pops up at the bottom of the screen telling me that my
USB device is not functioning properly I can navigate to the USB Root
Hub (4 ports) and see in bold the "Unknown Device", but upon bringing up
further information the driver I find is from Microsoft and it is dated
July 2001.

Right now I am trying to find out where oh where LG and others have
placed said drivers. At one time, before some of you were born, I could
just look for the *.drv file, substitute it, and it would work. Now
where are those drv files now-a-days?
