Uninstalling Instruction
With the release of Microsoft Windows Vista, the FTDI uninstaller has been rendered unusable due to
Windows Resource Protection preventing the executable from deleting driver files and associated
registry values. Vista will only allow the system itself to modify files and registry values in these locations.
Consequently, a new method for uninstalling is required. Devices can be removed using the Device
Manager by simply right clicking on the mouse and selecting "Uninstall". This will delete the associated
registry entries for that device only. Vista provides an automatic method to delete driver files via a check
box to "Delete the driver software for this device" on the uninstall dialog box.
