C) Uninstalling RL2000A-PNP Windows 95 driver
  
After the first successfully installation for RL2000A PNP adapter, if for any
reason you removed the network adapter entry in Network applet in Control Panel,
and do a reinstallation of the adapter, you do not need to insert the driver
disk again. Windows will be automatically detected the adapter and install
the driver after the first installation.

driver from Windows first before new driver can be installed.
To uninstall the adapter driver files do the following,

  A) First run UNRLPA95.bat to remove the driver.
      i) From Windows goto DOS prompt and run UNRLPA95.BAT from the disk
          \WIN95 directory.
               e.g.,
                     A:\WIN95\UNRLPA95

     ii) To proceed to remove the drivers, press any key to continue.
         If you changed you mind, press CTRL-C to abort.


  B) Then goto Control Panel | Network applet| to remove the adapter from
     the network list.
  C) Answer YES to restart Windows.
