KB77: PR3 - Using USBDeview Utility to uninstall failed PR3 installations

This article was last updated on March 5, 2017, 5:11 p.m. | Print Article | Leave Feedback

Note: If the PR3 driver installation process fails, you will have to uninstall the VCOM USB driver before attempting reinstallation.

We suggest using a utility called USBDeview for this purpose.  It is available for download from:

The process is simple, run the USBDeview program, location the VCOM driver in the list and right click to uninstall.
