    Question How do I remove INF files from my system?

    I need to remove the INF files for my mobo from my system, apparently these tell windows how to use my chip/gfx and USB etc.
    My board (See my sig below) is a GB DS3P, and no matter what I do I can't update them, so I need to remove them and install fresh to latest version.
    How do I go about this? Anyone got the same board?
    Thanks,

    Right click the device in Device Manager and click Uninstall?

    This isnt quite making sense

    Inf files are used as part of the driver installation (amongst other things), they are not drivers per-se.
    A motherboard doesnt require a driver as such, but the devices on it do.

    If you explain exactly what you're trying to do thats not working, we can help you better. I doubt inf files are the cause of any issue you're having

    I think he means the Intel INF update utility for the chipset drivers.

    At least, thats what I thought he meant
