I recently contacted a support company regarding a parallel port tape drive. They wanted me to delete my OEM*.inf files and the * being any number of files. Does anybody know what these files do? What will deleting them do to the over all system?
They said the wrong driver is loaded.
Any infomation on those files will help.
Thank you.

Those files are the ones that your system builder put on your system. They could contain almost anything, but are typically driver related. I'm not sure why they would need to be deleted, but the company asking you to do it should be able to answer that.

Did not really help at all. I needed to know what the files contain with in them selves.
