How to PERMANENTLY delete partially installed driver?

[BrotherBeaar]

Ok, hi guys, first post. Anyways, i just recently got my new computer back from being fixed, i plugged everything in, and turned it on. Since i just got it reinstalled on windows xp, all the new driver wizards popped up, since im stupid, i clicked through them without looking. The one problem was my D-Link DWA-130, which was installed as a driver but i was supposed to use the CD, not the wizzard. Long story short, does anybody have the code to paste into Command Prompt to delete the driver. This is what windows help said to do:

Enter the following commands:

cmd
cd %windir%\inf
for %a in (oem*.inf) do find /i "WG311T" %a >>out.txt
notepad out.txt

Where I have put "WG311T" above in the for %a line, you need to make sure it's written just like the device name is in device manager. Capitals don't
matter (because of the /i (ignore case), but if it's "WG-311-T" then you need to write it like that, with the dashes.

This will open up a notepad windows showing you the results of a text search through oem*.inf. Look through out.txt to see which of those oemX.inf files
is the netgear one. The stuff might not mean much to you, but it'll point at which of those inf files describes your Netgear card. You get a header (filename) like --------OEM6.INF and following that will be the matching text, so you will be looking for the filename (------OEMX.INF) just above any netgear stuff that is shown.

Remember the inf file name. In this example we will assume it is: oem12.inf

Type:

attrib -h -r -s oem12.*
del oem12.*

VERY VERY LONG story short, can you set up what i should type into Command Prompt if the driver is called "802.11n WLAN Adapter"?

Please help me, thanks a lot guys. A lot.

You said you just got it back from being fixed and you had windows xp reinstalled. If whoever installed windows didn't install all the drivers, there will be no drivers on the system yet.

Use the cd to install the driver for your hardware and it will overwrite whatever driver is already installed.

If something was partially installed - you can remove it by using Restore points too.

System Restore Will save data files - but removes applications that were installed after the data point you chose. I use it anytime I'm trying a freeware product for a day or so. If I don't like it - I hit restore point to remove the app completely from my Hard Drive
