Need help uninstalling a driver.

[DustinHerron]

This started trying to install the driver that allows me to use my PS3 controller on my computer., I tried it on a program that worked fine on my last computer. After a lot of frustration and failure, I decided to try to reinstall the driver which is libusb-win32.

When I went to programs to uninstall it, it said there was a problem and it removed it from the installed programs list in control panels. When I tried to run the installer again it said an old version was installed and I have to uninstall it first. I cannot figure out how. I even opened up search and deleted a few files that seemed to be associated with it, but it still tells me the same thing.

I found a post another forum that recommended to track it down in services and stop it there and delete the files. I cannot do this since there it was already stopped, and the files they say to delete do not exist. Any help would be appreciated.

Try Driver Sweeper: http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/

I don't see how this helps me remove a driver. Even if it was updated I still have to reinstall, since deleting files related to it probably nerfed it anyways. To reinstall I need to remove it. And it would cost me $30.

[Broni]

What exactly will cost you $30?

[DustinHerron]

From what I understood that software you linked me to.

[Broni]

It's free.

Removing the Device Driver
The device driver can not be removed from the system. Windows doesn't offer any option to do this

[DustinHerron]

So nothing can  be done?

Did you check Device Manager?

And or remove/uninstall it in safe mode.

[DustinHerron]

I cannot remove it because I cannot find it.

[patio]

Start/Search libusb-win32 and hit Enter...
Again do this in safemode.

Have you even tried Driver Sweeper?

[DustinHerron]

Nothing comes up on search safe mode or not, and all driver sweeper does is tell me it cannot create a file because access is denied. If the driver cannot be removed, it would help to know what files i need to have to where it is supposed to work again so I could dodge the installer, because it just tells me the same thing no matter what I do.

Run the program as Administrator.
