6.1 Uninstalling old drivers and devices 

There is a chance for a conflict between the new driver and an existing driver in the computer. In that 
case, it is better to remove those drivers before installing the new driver.     
1.    Enter Windows ‘Safe Mode’ (press F8 when starting Windows and then select ‘Safe Mode’ from the 

menu which will be displayed). 

2.    Click on ‘Start – Settings – Control Panel’ and double-click on ‘Add/Remove Programs’ icon. 
3.    Find all the programs for similar, old devices and remove these by clicking on the ‘Add/Remove’ 

button. When in ‘Safe Mode’, it is possible for some programs to appear twice. In that case, remove 
all the programs which appear twice. 

4.  Restart the computer.

Note: Make sure all other programs are closed during the installation process.
