Default Removing Bad Drivers


Hi Guys,

I made a bit of a pig's bottom of installing some USB drivers for a "mass
storage device" and I'm left with a lot of yellow markers and an
unrecognised MSD.

Unfortunately, when I try and remove said drivers the system freezes/locks
up.

Any suggestions of how to remove these drivers or could I just leave them?

Default Removing Bad Drivers

Have you tried removing them from a boot to safe mode?

Probably due to having two OS's on the disk, I seem to be having problems
getting into safe mode. I select it but it loads and looks normal, with no
loss of colours or watermark.

Any other ideas?

Go to Run on the start menu and type: msconfig. Click OK and on the
resulting screen, click the advanced button. In the resulting screen, mark:
Enable startup menu and click OK. Reboot. You should get a start
menu that allows you to select safe mode. Once you are done, go back and
remove the mark.
