Request: Uninstalling video drivers
Posted by: paul <paul@...>
In my continuing quest for dual monitors (Win98), I bought an ATI
All-In-Wonder AGP card, to use along with my Matrox classic Millennium
PCI, a project which turned out hugely unsuccessful. The second monitor
came on, but only with a DOS display message, and could not be
initialized.
Seeing that ATI currently has a *14 day* lead time for support, I took out
the card and returned it, and removed everything ATI from Device Manager.
But I have NOT been able to uninstall the drivers. Opening Control Panel
brings up the message,
"Unable to load language resources",
whatever that might mean. Then, Add/Remove programs will not allow me to
uninstall the ATIware. I get the message,
"Error loading C:windowssystematiiiex.dll.
A device attached to the system is not functioning."
which I hope doesn't mean I'm supposed to have the card installed in order
to remove the driver! : /
Waiting two weeks between support emails is not the ideal way to go about
this, as I now have a Matrox dual-head card, which currently is not
working, and which I can't get serious about until the old drivers are
out.
Would appreciate any wisdom as to how to get these drivers uninstalled,
with particular concern toward wiping the Registry.
Thanks,
Paul
