How to Uninstall Windows Drivers?
Drivers in Windows are very easy to uninstall. If the driver came as part of an installed software package (typically for printers and scanners and so on), then the easiest way is to remove the program and all its components from the Windows Control Panel (click ‘Start’ then ‘Control Panel’ and then ‘add or remove programs’). This is a way of thoroughly removing all traces of the software and drivers. The other way to go about uninstalling Windows drivers is to bring up the device manager (if you don’t know where this is then click on ‘Start’, click ‘Control Panel’, click ‘Performance and Maintenance’ and finally ‘System’. In the new window you’ll see a tab called ‘Hardware’ and the Device Manager is there). You can bring up the window you need by double clicking on the device whose driver you need to uninstall. You will get a ‘properties’ window with a tab marked ‘driver’. There’s a button marked ‘uninstall’. Just click it to uninstall the driver. It’s sometimes worth uninstalling the driver if you are having problems. If the driver you have uninstalled was part of the ‘plug and play’ protocol in windows NT or XP, then all you need to do is reboot or restart your PC and windows will search out the hardware and reinstall the driver automatically. If the driver you are using is Plug and Play then it will say so in the driver window from where you perform the uninstall. Plug and Play in Windows XP works for things like keyboard, mouse, monitor and basic modem, graphics and sound cards. Often you will want to use the driver written by the maker of the hardware you’ve installed. In this case you should have found a more up to date version of the driver on the internet or have a copy on a disc before you uninstall. If you think the driver is at fault and don’t have a copy, find one first – this can be done on the internet once you know the make and model of your device. There are also programs available that help you identify all your drivers and therefore help you find the replacements or updates. The other reason for uninstalling your driver is if you are installing a driver manually rather than using an executable file (see the article on ‘installing windows drivers’),. In this case it’s usually a good idea to remove the old driver before the install to prevent clashes. In this case you need to do so from the device manager as described above. So, if you have the backup that came with the hardware, have found one from a reliable source on the internet or are happy to rely upon plug and play technology (which is very good for many purposes), then there is no real risk in uninstalling windows drivers.
Removing unused device drivers from Windows XP machines?
When you install a device driver on a Windows XP machine, the operating system loads that driver each time the computer boots regardless of whether the device is present—unless you specifically uninstall the driver. This means that drivers from devices that you have long since removed from your system may be wasting valuable system resources.
Follow these steps to view and remove these unnecessary device drivers:
Press [Windows]+[Break] to bring up the System Properties dialog box.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
Click the New button below the System Variables panel.
In the New System Variable dialog box, type
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices in the Variable Name text box and 1 in the Variable Value text box.
Click OK to return to the System Properties dialog box and then click OK again.
Select the Hardware tab and click the Device Manager button.
In Device Manager, go to View | Show Hidden Devices.
Expand the various branches in the device tree and look for the washed out icons, which indicate unused device drivers.
To remove an unused device driver, right-click the icon and select Uninstall.
Hvis du installerer drivere til den nye brænder burde det derimod ikke give problemer i det Windows overskriver de gamle drivere?
Den driver du har fat i der er bare en standard ASPI driver. ASPI eller også kaldt ASPI layer gør det bare muligt for CD/DVD-Rom drev at snakke sammen med dit OS. I XP/2000/Vista følger ASPI driveren som standard ikke med.

The term "ASPI" stands for Advanced SCSI Programming Interface. It’s a universal driver layer that operates in between software and the CD-R hardware. It is often referred as 'ASPI layer', 'ASPI driver' or 'ASPI Interface', which are all synonymous terms for the same thing. Windows 95/98/ME ships with a poorly implemented ASPI layer, while NT/2000/XP has no ASPI layer built in. You can check your current ASPI setup by using the ASPICHK tool that comes with the Adaptec ASPI distribution.
Many software titles install their own drivers to the operating system and therefore do not need an ASPI layer. Such software titles include CloneCD, DiscJugger, GEAR, BlindWrite and many others. On the other hand there is a large number of software that require an ASPI driver installed: Exact Audio Copy, Feurio!, BurnAtOnce, and so on. Nero Burning ROM comes with it’s own ASPI layer that other software can utilize too.
