Need to clear OPS drivers

Is there a way to find and remove ALL OPOS drivers - especially the ones apparently installed by pixies ( hardware vendors?) without any documentation?

I just had an "experience" setting up Star TSP100 and cash drawers on RMS

1.3. Although I finally got everyting resolved (the last problem turned out to be a bad cable between the printer and the cash drawer), the headaches along the way were excaberated because I could not use the test software provided by Star Micronics. It claimed that another control object was already registered. The problem was that I had not installed any other control objects and had no way of determining what these other control objects were.

Of course, RMS reported no problems, the printer either operated perfectly, but did not open the cash drawer, or generated an "unkown error" - and the cash drawer failed to open. I did not quite have to reformat the drive and re-install Windows etc, but that would have been my next step.

My assumption is that the hardware vendor had some PC's "preconfigured" for a package deal that did not include the peripherals (printers, scanners, etc) that the customer specified. They shipped the preconfiguerd (now, by definition mis-configured) PCs along with the specified peripherals. But, I don't know of a way to determine what OPOS drivers might be installed - hence my question.

thanks in advance
