SOURCE: uninstall usr usb maxg driver
These instructions assume Windows XP. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Insert the adapter.
Navigate to Control Panel (classic view) > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
In the Computer Management window, select "Device Manager" in the left-hand menu.
Click the + sign in the "Network Adapters" field.
If the adapter shows underneath "network adapters", follow the instructions below to completely remove it's drivers.
It's a little involved...:
1.)Go to the device in the device manager>Right-click>Properties.....
2.)Click "Driver Details" and make note of all the files listed. Once the device is gone, you need to delete those files......
Secondly, you need to find the .inf responsible for it's installation.....
3.)Go to the Details Tab, and highlight the long string....Theres a drop down at the top, it should be on "Device Instance ID" (XP, might be a tad off on the verbage)
4.)Press control+C to copy it....

6.)Press F3 and copy that string to the "A word or phrase...". Make sure, under "More Advanced Options", "Search system folders", Search hidden...", and "Search subfolders" are all checked.

1st... USB\VID_03F0&PID_4F11&REV_0100&MI_00
2nd... USB\VID_03F0&PID_4F11&REV_0100
3rd... USB\VID_03F0&PID_4F11
...etc, uintil you get a hit, with a "Driverfilename.INF". Rename that .inf file to .OLD.
7.)Now go back to the earlier part where you found all the listed drivers in the Driver Details tab, and rename them all to .something, or remove them to a safe directory outside the systemroot.....
8.)Reinstall your Drivers for the device, and plug it back in and you should have new drivers...
