Hi all,I can't find how I can uninstall/remove drivers from devices that are no longer in Device Manager.Windows update manager keeps saying I need to update Brother drivers but I don't have a Brother printer anymore.

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

Hi Luke,

We suggest that you update the device driver. You can do that by following these steps:

  Select the Start button, type Device Manager, and select
  it from the list of results.
  
• 
  Expand the category where your device is located, then right-click on the name of your device, and select Update Driver Software.
  
• 
  Select Search automatically for updated driver software.
  

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can try looking for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.

• 
  Open Device Manager.
  
• 
  Right-click on the name of the device.

  Select Uninstall.
  
• 
  Restart your PC and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
