How do I remove a PCI device from a Windows 98/95 system?

Delete the INF file installed by Windows during setup:
This file may be located in different places and have different names depending on the version of Windows 98/95 being used. Most often, the file is located in the directory:
```
  C:\Windows\INF\Other\ 
```
Other directories that it may be in are:
```
  C:\Windows\INF\

  C:\Windows\System 

  C:\Windows\ 
```
The file is normally named:
```
  CondorEngineeringCONDOR.inf 
```
Other possible names (depending on Windows 95 Version) are:
```
  *Condor *.inf (that is, any INF file with the 
                 name Condor in it) 

  OEMSETUP.INF 
```
To be sure the INF file you have selected is indeed a Condor file, open it with and text editor and check at the bottom of the file for the lines:
```
  [Strings] 

  String0=Condor Engineering 

  String1=Condor Engineering 

  String2=Dev_0 
```

Remove the device driver file:

  C:\Windows\System\WrtDev?.VXD 
     where ? is the WinRT device number of the 
     PCI device you are removing.

Open the Windows Registry (Double click on C:\Windows\REGEDIT.EXE)
The Windows Registry is critical to your system. Before making any changes we advise backing it up: Select the root of the registry tree (MY_COMPUTER) and click:
```
  FILE>>Export Registry. 
```

Delete the following keys:

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\ 
      control\InstalledFiles\WrtDev?.VXD] 
   
  where ? is the WinRT device number of the 
  PCI device you are removing. 

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\PCI\ VEN_124B&DEV_0040]
