Re: Problems with uninstalling drivers in Vista

DIFx Version 2.1 (the one that comes in the WDK) works well with Vista. In
the previous versions, the Vista support was very limited.

DIFx 2.1 comes with the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). It cannot be downloaded
separately.

I use DIFx 2.1 to install and uninstall WHQL driver file.
But I encountered the problem. The problem is described as follows:

1. -> Install driver.
2. -> The result is successfully.
3. -> I un-plug the card.
4. -> Uninstall driver page.
5. -> The result is failed.

Who know to solve the problem? Please tell me, thank you.
