More info?)
yep, when I finally managed to uninstall the UMAX software and rebooted
my windows 2000 system I had to re-install some device drivers (I think
it was the audio but there was a number of other things also).
UMAX needs to hire some programmers that know what they are doing. I've
dealt with other packages that replace device driver files with their
own only to totally hose the computer. You don't replace other device
drivers unrelated to your code without asking the user and you certainly
don't list them in the uninstall.
It is extremely inconsiderate to mess with drivers from other devices
unrelated to the device being installed.
It like saying that the UMAX stuff is more important than what ever is
already on this computer and if the customer really needs that other
stuff then they don't need us.
Well UMAX I don't need you and the problems you create.
Is don't know why I'm saying this here because companies tend to not
care what the user thinks.
