Under OS X drivers are installed in the /Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions folders. There may also be startup items associated with the devices in /Library/LaunchAgents, /Library/LaunchDaemons, and the corresponding /System/Library/LaunchAgents, /System/Library/LaunchDaemons folders. You can find information about them, by running System Information and clicking on ‘Extensions’. It will either be a ‘Not Signed’ or ‘Identified Developer’, more than likely. Start in Safe mode, find the kext files associated with the Tyco drivers move them to the trash and restart. If you can find an ‘Uninstaller’ for the device drivers in the installation package, this is the best because that way you can be reasonably sure all the bits-n-pieces are removed. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
