Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
Hello,
I have a SigmaTel IrDA USB adapter and have previously just plugged it in and let win98se try to search the necessary files for installation. I have recently learnt that this is not the right way, although the IrDA dongle actually works as expected, as in allowing me to connect my cell phone to the PC. I first remove the Infrared device from the Device Manager. Then I tried to uninstall the SigmaTel IrDA adapter from the Add/Remove Program. However, the uninstallation would stop after around 8%. Then I pressed ctrl-alt-del to end the process. When I tried to dismiss the Add/Remove Program, there was no response. So I pressed ctrl-alt-del again. This time, an Ikernel showed up in the task list and it was not responding. So I selected it and ended it. Then another dialog box came up: Title: SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter Message: Setup fails to run: Remote procedure call fails. It is always this whenever I try to uninstall it again. When I tried to run the setup program from the CD, it still asked me if I wanted to uninstall, rather than letting me installing it over the original files. Any way to either: 1. enable me to uninstall the files; or 2. just to install the files over those already installed previously. Thanks in advance Herbert |

You probably need to install the latest MS installation program.

Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
I am using win98se. And I actually think that I can still install and
uninstall other programs. Only the uninstallation of this IrDA USB Adapter is causing me headaches. So according to below, I should just delete the folder that holds the installshield files?? Will this affect other install/uninstall programs? TIA Herbert "H Leboeuf" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... You probably need to install the latest MS installation program.

Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
Hello,
I have this idea: So I have this "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter" on the Add/Remove Program list. If I'm able to remove this entry from the list, and to fool the setup program that accompanies the dongle not to know that I have previously installed it, although in an improper way, before, I may then be able to proceed with the installation. Is this possible and how should I go about it? Thanks in advance. Herbert "Herbert Chan" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... I am using win98se.

Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
I do not know anything about "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter".
Can you not just disable it in the start up or in your tasks lists? Run MSCONFIG from the start/run applet and look under "StartUp tab" see is you can disable it from there. Then if all is ok set it up again. -- Henri Leboeuf Web page: http://www.colba.net/~hlebo49/index.htm === "Herbert Chan" wrote in message ...

Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
It may actually be just some unnecessary insistence of mine.
I've before been able to use the Infrared dongle, but I recently read the manual on the CD accompanying the dongle and found out that I haven't installed it the right way, which was to run the setup first before plugging in the dongle. I have plugged it in and let win98se search for the necessary files. So I now want to uninstall it and reinstall it in the proper way. If I can't find a way to remove it, I may just plug it in and let win98se install it again. Herbert "H Leboeuf" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... I do not know anything about "SigmaTel USB-IR Adapter".

Ikernel stops responding during uninstallation
I've solved it. I've used the Add Remove Plus! 2004 to remove the entry from
the Add/Remove Program list and I was then able to proceed with the installation. However, it was actually a non-problem as I found nothing different from when I've installed the dongle in the "improper" way. Anyway, thanks. Herbert "Herbert Chan" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g...
