jamieb, be careful what you uninstall - are you trying to uninstall your USB controllers and hubs, or are you trying to uninstall your modem?

You _don't_ want to uninstall your USB controllers and hubs (well, actually, it probably wouldn't be that bad. They should reinstall automatically on reboot).

AFAIK you should have an entry in Add/Remove Programs (not Device Manager) for your modem's USB drivers (not sure about this - never used USB to connect to a modem) - that's where to remove it. Once you uninstall it in Add/Remove Programs, the entry for it in Device Manager should be removed automatically - if you try to uninstall it in Device Manager, it will probably reinstall on reboot.
