The Windows operating system will disable the driver and update the driver configuration files. It will not delete the driver from your computer’s hard disk. This means that when you would reinstall the AirStation USB Client, your Windows operating system will attempt to activate the same driver files again.

6.When prompted to Restart your computer select:

•Yes, if you don’t mind that the driver and configuration files continue to reside on your hard disk (the restart will finish your procedure to disable the driver.)

•No, if you would like to physically remove the drivers from your hard disk (typically required to upgrade the driver on a Windows 98/2000 operating system.)

Proceed as described under “Deleting the AirStation Driver Files” below to delete the driver and its information and configuration files from your hard disk.

Deleting the AirStation Driver Files

The procedure to physically remove the AirStation Driver files from your hard disk is similar for all Windows operating systems.

CAUTION:

Prior to deleting the files from your hard disk, it is important to remove the drivers as described in section B.3.3. Failing to do so prevents the Windows operating system from cleaning the Windows Registry, which might lead to complications if you try to re-install the AirStation driver in the future.

1.Open the Windows Explorer

2.In the Explorer menu, click on View and select Options

3.From the View tab, select Show all files and clear the check-box Hide

MS-DOS file extensions

4.Click the Apply button to return to the Explorer window

5.Back in the Explorer, open the Windows System folder:

•“c:\windows\system” for Windows 98

6.Delete the AirStation driver files listed below:

•WLMEL51.SYS •WLMEL51.DLL

•WCMEL51.EXE •WLMEL51.VXD

7.Close the Windows Explorer and Restart your computer. If deleting the AirStation Driver files was part of an “Upgrade Driver” routine, you can now (re-)install the new AirStation Driver as described in Chapter 2 “Installing your USB Client.”
