Help me remove a downloaded driver I please.

[burnselk]

:confused: I was looking on the web at a graphics card (3DFX 210-0364-003) that I have from an older computer that I may use in another computer that I'm building and I clicked on the Driver Download icon and I suppose the driver was installed somewhere on my computer. I was not given the opportunity to download it to a particular site or to a floppy.

I need to find this driver download immediately and get rid of it....I wanted to save it to a floppy for use later but the thing just downloaded "somewhere" unknown to me. Can anyone help me?

I don't want this driver to interfer with my "nVidia RIVA TNT2 model 64"....if in fact it will.....I'd feel much better if I could just find it and remove it immediately...or put it on a floppy like I wanted to in the first place....I wasn't given the chance to put it anywhere....it just downloaded somewhere (where I don't know).

I don't even know what it's called to find it in Search for today. What "type" of file would I be looking for? In Search you have Name, Folder, Size, Type, Date, etc. If I knew what type it is I might be able to find it.

Please help. Thank you!!!

The driver won't have installed on your PC if you just chose to save the file to your PC.
"Find" all files "Modified" recently [in the last 24 hrs or on a specified day].
Did you notice the file extension [.exe or .zip?]
e.g. You could "Find" all zip files [*.zip] on the C: drive "Modified" on a certain day.

I've never known a driver file for a Windows system to automatically install just because you chose to download it. Not if you just got it from some random web page. Don't worry about it interfering with your system. As you said, it's probably just lost on your hard drive(s).

Install files are usually downloaded as ".zip" or ".exe" or sometimes ".msi". But you'll have to do a search for recent files as Sylvander said to be certain.
