[Elecraft] strange question

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Have to remember how Win 7 does these things.  REMOVE the USB
device(s) from the computer until you are done, and DO NOT reinsert
them until after you are successful and have installed the correct
drivers.  What you call install and what happens the first time the
drivers are called for are two separate things.  Best way to describe
this is that what you are doing is DELIVERING the drivers to the Win
7, and the first time a USB device calls for the drivers, the Win 7
PLUGS THEM IN.  They then are turned on any time the device is
present.

Doing the uninstall using the add/remove programs of Win 7 is the best
way.  Only go to the strange stuff if you are having desperate
problems, and then only after letting a really PC savvy teenager work
on it first.  There are registry issues that need to be cleaned up
that are taken care of in the Win 7 function, that will cause you
trouble forever if you skip steps or use "hacks" from web sites.

Good Luck!

Guy.
