Can anybody help - I am trying to uninstall my digital camera (Oregon - Scientific model)from my computor running winXP. When the camera was installed apparently it did not install properly. Now when I go to Control Pannel and try to remove the camera all it wants to do is try and re-install it, but it will not as it is not compatable with XP. The company have download to me some updated drivers but they have informed me that I have to uninstall first to be able to use the new drivers. |

Assuming the Camera has a USB interface or similar you might have to boot up in safe mode with administrator priviledges to uninstall the old software, I ran into this a while back with an Intel Web camera not XP compatable with out a driver patch I had to purchase. That is what they recommended. So I did it and it worked. So I bought a logitech. LOL. |

Followed your advise but without success. I appear to still get the camera showing on the control panel in the " add/remove " section. Any other ideas would be appreciated |

Do a search for the DLL's in windows that pertain to the camera in question, but be careful as the y may not be easily identified by name. Than once you have found the offending drivers you should be able to safely delete them. This will allow you to install the updated drivers. You should try an install with the camera detached from the system, after that step is completed than you can plug the camera in. |
