Editing Windows 95/98/ME Registry

Hardware: Legacy DAQ Devices

Problem: How do I remove an unrecognized device from my Windows 95/98/ME registry when I have additional recognized devices that I do not want to remove?

Solution:

1. Double-click on your NIC directories in the Registry Editor. You will have directories under them.
2. Click on the directories under the NIC directories, and the right-hand side of the Registry Editor screen will give you information about what the card is (the image below demonstrates)
   
   

   

3. Notice how the DeviceDesc on the right tells us which card (AT-MIO-16DE-10 in this case) is associated with the directory 00000069 (will probably be a different number on your machine).
4. What you need to do now is:
   1. Find all directories (max of 2) that are associated with the unrecognized card.
   2. Delete those associated directories (the NIC ones and their subdirectories) from the Registry.
   3. Exit the Registry Editor.
   4. DO NOT REBOOT YOUR MACHINE YET.
   5. Install the NI-DAQ Driver.
   6. After the driver is installed, reboot your machine. The device should be found.
