Issue:
How do I remove all driver information for my Affinity (DCI) adapter?
Solution:
1. From within a DOS windows type
: CD\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Then delete the following
: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\xxx5250.VXD (xxx = DCI, AFF or CEM)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\xxx5250.386 (xxx = DCI, AFF or CEM)
2. From within a DOS window type
: CD\WINDOWS\INF
Then delete the following
C:\WINDOWS\INF\DRVDATA.BIN
C:\WINDOWS\INF\DRVIDX.BIN
3. At the C:\WINDOWS\INF prompt type
DIR OEM*.INF
****NOTE: Newer versions of Windows95 may have a different format for
the .INF file.
Look for C:\WINDOWS\INF\OTHER\DEVELO~x.INF and delete it
Or C:\WINDOWS\INF\OTHER\AFFINI~x.INF and delete it
(Where x is a number)
Display the contents of each OEMx.INF file and delete any file that
relates to DCI or Affinity.
4. Close the DOS window and return to windows.
