UnInstall Drivers Problem
CADCAM Software for All Woven Textiles
When installing the latest DK2 drivers, the old driver must first be removed. This should be done automatically. If for some reason the removal of the old driver fails then you should try to remove
the driver manually as follows -

Open the Windows Control Panel
Open the Add/Remove Programs or Change/Remove Programs option
Select the DK2 DESkey Drivers item
Select Remove to remove the driver
Prompts should indicate that the driver has been "uninstalled"

In the unlikely event that this procedure also fails then you can remove the driver by editing the Windows registry as follows -

NOTE : Changing the Windows registry can cause your computer to stop working correctly. Do not change the registry unless you are confident about doing this.


Select Start then Run from the Windows taskbar
Type in REGEDIT at the "Open" command line
The Windows Registry Editor will start
Open the key HKEY_LCOAL_MACHINE
Open the key Software
Open the key Data Encryption Systems Limited
RIGHT-Click the key DESKey Control Panel
Select Delete from the popup menu
Close the REGEDIT Window
Restart your comnputer

You should now install the latest DK2 driver. See below for example of Regedit screen showing the entry to be removed (highlighted).
