    I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I installed a USB device but it was installed with an error saying that it couldn't install since the drivers were bad. The device is "working properly" but I need to uninstall it and then reinstall it, the problem is that I can't uninstall it. When I click uninstall it stays on the uninstall screen for a long time saying "uninstalling devices" and does nothing. What should I do?

    the device manager is a tool meant to be used when windows is booted into safe mode, boot into safe mode and try the action again, remember if your trying to uninstall any windows drivers first uninstall the manufactures drivers (software suite and such)


    questions?
