I recently went to control panel & then 'add hardware' to try and

delete a device driver for a scanner that isn't working. I'm HOPING

that once I delete this device driver, I can successfully re-install

the software for that device. It *appears* that going through

control panel and then 'add hardware' isn't the place to make this

happen. Can someone help? TIA...

Or possible the makers have a remove drivers utility
