The driver can be removed via the Windows Control Panel, ‘Add/Remove Programs’ or ‘Programs and Features – Change/Remove’ option:
Select the ‘Universal Pointer Device Driver’ entry in the Add/Remove Programs dialog.
The automatic uninstall program can also be invoked by calling the program …\updd\uninstall.exe. For Silent uninstall, with no user dialogs being shown, pass the parameter UNINSTALLS i.e …\updd\uninstall.exe UNINSTALLS. Note – earlier versions of the uninstall program needed the parameter UNINSTALL to be passed to perform the normal uninstall procedure. Running an earlier version without any parameters will invoke an install – don’t ask!
Please note: The uninstall process does not have any progress bar and can take upwards of 1 minute to complete, depending on system speed.
On completion, the following dialog is shown:
Manual
To manually uninstall the driver components, you need to:
- Delete the UPDD application folder
e.g. c:\program files\UPDD
- Remove any registry branches at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ starting with TBUPDD (i.e. tbupdd, tbupddwu, tbupddsu)
- Delete any UPDD files in c:\[windows]\system32\drivers where [windows] is the main windows folder.
(any files starting with tbupdd or updd i.e. tbupddsu.sys, upddvh.sys etc)
- Delete the UPDD Program Manager entry (Start, All Programs, right click UPDD entry, Delete)
- Delete any UPDD related files in c:\[windows]\inf where [windows] is the main windows folder.
(any files starting with UPD i.e. upddv3mo.inf/cat/pnf, upddhid.inf/cat, upddhf.inf, upd6v3mo.inf/cat/pnf)
Following the above, a reboot is required to remove the driver and daemon processes.
