Add/Remove… button. The uninstall program removes all folders, 
programs, DLLs, and registry entries associated with the GPIB 
software. During uninstallation, you are prompted about deleting 
shared components, as shown in Figure A-3. Click on YesNo, or No

Figure A-3.  

Removed Shared Component Dialog Box

If you have not physically removed your hardware, shut down 
Windows NT, turn off your system, and remove the GPIB hardware.

The uninstall program removes only items that the GPIB setup program 
installed. If you add anything to a directory created by the GPIB setup 
program, the uninstall program does not delete that directory. You need to 
remove any remaining components yourself.

If you want to reinstall the GPIB hardware and software, refer to Chapter 2,
