Cannont uninstall nor reinstall WSB11: Linksys says it is problem with W98...
I am trying to install a Wireless-B USB adapter (Linksys WSB11).
It did not work so linksys told me to uninstall and install the latest software from their site. I downloaded the latest stuff (mine was out of date) but I had problems removing the program using the "add remove programs" .... Now when I try to reload, it comes up with an error message "The WLAN monitor utility and drivers for the WUSB11 have already been installed". I cannot find the drivers anywhere and it won't let me load up the disk without these drivers removed. Please note I have tried everything that was mentioned the last time this came up: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...e04560a&rnum=1 I have tried running the uninstall from the Start/Programs/whatever and also from the control panel. I have manually removed ALL linksys registry entries. I have manually removed the drivers I know are linsys (LSPMUSB.*). I also removed the installed directory/files (Program Files/Linksys/WUSB11-or-something). It still insists there are portions still installed and refuses to install over them. When I run the uninstall from the Control Panel, it appears to run but windows flash to quickly to really be running (I assume it is trying to run an executable that no longer exists; perhaps one in the directory I removed). Although it claims to have succesfully uninstalled, the item remains in the Control Panel list and the installer will not run. HELP! |

I doubt that they know me in that I am a computer user just like you--I do
newsgroup support as a hobby. Linksys software makes registry entries when it is installed and one of those entries appears to be the culprit--that error message isn't produced by Windows. I don't use their product so I have no idea what entry it might be. It would seem like Linksys ought to know as it's their software. Have you run regedit.exe and done searches of the registry on: linksys, WSB11 and WLAN -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Gregg Woodcock" wrote in message om...
