I am running Win98SE.
Of a sudden I found "TapeDetection" in the Device Manager, I don't know where does it come from. For sure I do not use any Tape device.
That "TapeDetection" does not show up under Safe Mode, I cannot get rid of it, as it will show up again in Device Manager after deleting it in virtual mode.
Anyone please help to get rid of it?
Thanks!!
Full Version: TapeDetection
It comes from installing MSBackup very probably.
on the subject of tape drivers in MSBackup
i have this old note lying in my setup folder
i mention it because if MSBackup is installed removing these files (assuming you're not using tape backup) will greatly decrease 98SE boot up times.

Verify that no Windows tape drivers are being loaded.
These drivers are usually loaded for the Windows backup utility when it is installed.
Please delete the following files from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IOSUBSYS directory:
DRVWCDB.VXD
DRVWPPQT.VXD
DRVWQ117.VXD
After deleting these files, you will need to restart the system for the changes to take effect.

Thank you guys.
I have uninstalled Microsoft Backup and deleted those files.
I got rid of the TapeDetection in the Device Manager now.
