Removing unremoveable devices Monday, February 11, 2002 at 11:21 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Pentoman (1 messages posted) Hi people. I'm having trouble with win2k. I have a program which wants to use a microsoft WAN driver for my (crappy) D-Link/Realtek network card. So, i tried to change the driver, rather stupidly, to 'WAN Miniport Driver', and ignored the message saying the driver may not work. Well, it thinks it worked okay, but because of this, it thinks my network card is a WAN miniport. The card is not in my Network & Dial up connections, nor can I add it in add/rem hardware. I've moved it to another slot, and now it's re-installed itself, but I still have another WAN miniport driver (IP), and other programs still identify the other network adapter.. but the name is always garbage. It won't remove because I get 'Failed to uninstall the device, it may be required to boot up' any ideas ?
