Have uninstalled the 3Com ones listed, but when I went to do the next one listed - Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter, I am getting a dialog box called Device Manager: Failed to uninstall the device - The device may be required to boot up the computer?????

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
if its the only way then fine ,reset but its a pain as the OS will try and re-install the removed devices BEFORE your ready and all cleared out.
just reset and cancel any installing popups until your ready to really install all the removed devices.

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
remove everything else and leave that until last, hopefully it wont ask you to reboot before then and its fine.
the object is to just clear out the drivers, so if needs be, you can go inside the BIOS and temp turn off the 3com there,so the OS cant see it and so not try and reinstall it, BUT we are getting into other techy stuff and i dont want to go down that road just yet.

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
did the belkin have a uninstall app in startup , use it to remove the driver and app, it is unpluged right now as i said before, and so not trying to re-install yet again?.
its strange that you cant remove all of them in normal mode but safe mode works fine, i do this stuff over and over so i dont get why you cant remove them.....?

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
hmm that Cisco Systems 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport
is that also an internal wireless mini PCi card and is it inside right now, i wonder if that was messing this stuff up in the past!
not that it matters right now , its just another ethernet device your lappy can use if it really exists.....

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
10 minutes ago I did F8 on startup like you said, and selected Safe Mode, the uninstalls are not happening. I have got back into the BIOS again and the following are listed:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Enable Boot Logging
Enable VGA Mode
Last Known Good Configuration (Your most recent settings that worked)
Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
Debugging Mode
Disable automatic restart on system failure
Start Windows Normally
Reboot
Return to OS Choices Menu
I have only chosen Safe Mode, is that right?

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
yep except thats not the BIOS, you need to find that key ,usually at its powering up pressing delete, F1 or F2 works.
the Bios is were you get to change all the PCs internal bits before any OS gets anywere near it, it can be dangerous if you tweek the wrong bits but devices such as turning off/on the 3com, the serial ports and the parallel ports if your not using them are perfectly fine.
im at a loss IF YOU HAVE REMOVED/UNPLUGED/DETACHED/DISCONNECTED THE belkin USB but you didnt tell us so just guessing.

Re: BELKIN Router/Adapter Problem.....HELP PLEASE!!!!!
Belkin and Direct Parallel cannot be uninstalled.
I looked in PCMCIA adapters and found this:
Texas Instruments PCI-1410 CardBus Controller.
Is this anything you need to know about?
