can't remove bad driver in Win2k

[Asp]

I've got an old internal modem that worked in WinMe, but I couldn't find a working driver for Win2k.

So I searched for and installed several drivers, but none really worked. But now it seems I've royally screwed up something because I can't uninstall the drivers. If in Device Manager I select "uninstall" Windows immediately crashes and reboots.

So I manually deleted all the driver files. But I am still unable to remove it from Device Manager; if I try it still crashes.

Is there a back door method, eg via the registry, to remove drivers or devices?

Try something like Diver Magician or Driver Manager.

In windows\inf, delete any PNF files, infcache.1, any oemX.inf files and reboot

Delete setupapi.log, remove the device from devman and see what's being logged in setupapi.log
