Help deleting files needed

Hi
I am trying to uninstall a broadband modem from my pc so I can install drivers for a new one. I cannot delete them via the normal add/remove software feature as it is not there! (along woth numerous other programs installed on my pc).
I managed to locate the broadband directory and clicked on the uninstall button there - but nothing happened.
Recently something went "wrong" with my pc which I havent managed to discover the root cause as yet. The end result is that
i) I cannot delete programs from the control panel
ii) It keeps asking me the Office XP original cd to be inserted even though I had Office 2000 installed - I have never ever had Office XP.
So, can anyone help me delete the broadband files instead of formatting my hard drive - again??
PS broadband modem is Voygaer 100
Thanks in advance

Navigate to the broadband directory using Explorer and delete the files by highlighting them and then pressing Delete.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

If you are being asked for the office CD try putting the Restore CD
in that holds Microsoft Works it may be asking for that one..
https://www.ccleaner.com has a removal feature0 -
Do you have the original install CD for the modem - it probably has uninstall instructions on it too. Or an entry on the Start Menu programs list? Or maybe you have a safely remove hardware icon for it in the system tray.0
