Network Adapter

I installed a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G Speedbooster which works very well with my desktop wired and my laptop wireless. When I tried to install a wireless network adapter WUSB54G for another desktop I goofed the installation. When I try to reinstall the adapter I get a message telling me to remove the driver that I installed as part of the aborted setup. I can't remove the driver using device manager. How can I remove the driver so I can reinstall the adapter?

Silly question but have you checked in the Add/Remove programs area? Many times the drivers are part of software that is installed when you use the Quick Install features from the Installation CD.

If it doesnt show up in Add/Remove programs you can always try Windows Explorer. Find the Folder and Delete. I have had to perform this a couple of times. Add/Remove doesnt always remove the program completely. Sometimes there is a Folder leftover.
