I would never have, except that it came on this computer, which I was given, so I deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theologian in Training Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 You might try using their remove tool as it will remove everything from your computer and then reinstall the drivers. Unfortunately, they no longer offer those drivers on their website , so I could not help you there, but try removing everything and I mean everything and then reinstall. You can find the uninstall utility here [url="http://tinyurl.com/26pvwu"]http://tinyurl.com/26pvwu[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abercius24 Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 If I were you, I'd look into getting an old copy of Windows XP on eBay and upgrade your operating system. Windows ME is no longer supported, its full of vulnerabilities, and it just plain stinks. If you buy a copy of Windows XP, make sure you get the certificate of authenticity key, too.
