I have uninstalled the USBXpress development kit (which is highly
inconvenient application and seems does not support win 98 though they claim
it does). I removed all drivers which USBXpress has left in C:\WINDOWS\INF
and C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (though correct uninstaller must delete
these files during uninstall, but it does not).
But nothing has changed, windows does not show "Add new hardware wizard"
when connect device to usb.
