         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\GRBUS
         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Root\GemplusVirtualBus
         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Serenum\Gem3417

         And now you have to restart the computer to apply these changes.

	Note: this uninstallation does not remove driver files from the system.
	Because reader is a PnP device, if reader is present, the system will lunch corresponding

	from the RM list. It will require to update DWORD registry value:

         HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Root\GemplusVirtualBus\NumberOfSlots=0.

	As soon as Gemplus Serial Reader will be again installed in the system, the bus driver will automatically
	increment this value and after next reboot the reader will be recognized by the smartcard subsystem.


   4.4 Add More serial smartcard reader

	By default Gemplus Virtual bus supports one Serial smart card reader.
	But, if you need extra  serial smartcard readers,
 	Here is the procedure to follow:

	Click on Start and select Run
	Type regedit.exe.
	browse to: 
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\Root\GemplusVirtualBus\0000

   4.5 Change Communication baudrate

	By default at install time the Serial smartcard reader works
	at 115200 baudrate.
	If PC does not support max baudrate, the driver will adjust automatically settings to maximum
	available baudrate.
	If you wish to reduce or fix Serial baudrate used between PC and
        Smartcard reader, you need to add special registry key:

	Click on Start and select Run
	Type regedit.exe.
	browse to: 
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\GRBUS\GTWINSER\0
	in the rigth windows, right click 
        and select NEW-> DWORD Value
	Type exact word: "MaxBaudRate"   Then Press Enter
	Type in the value data field the speed limitation you wish reader works.

	Possible value :
	MaxBaudRate = 9600 (in decimal)
	MaxBaudRate = 19200 (in decimal)
	MaxBaudRate = 38400 (in decimal)
	MaxBaudRate = 57600 (in decimal)
	MaxBaudRate = 115200 (in decimal)  Default.

	Restart PC to apply these change.	


5 - User notes (known deviations)
---------------------------------

* The Smart Card Resource Manager is not Plug and Play on Windows
  98, 98SE and Me.  This is a system limitation. 
  You *must reboot* your system after a reader installation to
  be able to use PC/SC.


* After a successful uninstall, if you plug again the device, the system
  keeps traces of previous installation. 
  If you want to remove previous information installation file 
  you have to search in "%WINDIR%\inf\Other" directory.  
  You have to search file name begining by GemplusGrBus.inf,
  GemplusGrLoader.inf and GemplusGTwinSer.inf.

  If you use Setup install program: 
  you have to search also in "%WINDIR%\inf" directory the files that begin
  with oemXX.inf and oemXX.pnf.  Look inside for file contains 
  "Serial Smart Card Reader Driver".


* The serial port was never designed for hot-plugging and device detection.
  So you can plug or unplug a device while the system is running, but there
  is no real hardware support for detection of a device. 

  However, there is software support that implements serial device detection:
  Go to device manager and Press Refresh button to force Pnp Enumaration.

* Unplugging the reader is detected by the smartcard driver that triggers
  a function that closes the connection to the serial driver.

  But the driver will not unload automatically.  To trigger unload of the device,
  in Device Manager, Press Refresh button to unload serial smartcard driver.


6. Troubleshooting
-------------------


If the previously described procedure didn't succeed in installing or
updating the driver, please

1- Open the Device Manager, 
   Click on the "SmartCardReader" group and check
   If a cross appears, or a Yellow bang or exclamation mark "!",
   in front of Gemplus Serial smart card reader.

 
2- Check also if Pnp on you computer detect proprely 
   the smart card reader device Pnp.

   Right-Click on the "My Computer" icon on the desktop,
   Choose "properties" and select the "Device Manager" tab,
   Select the "SmartCardReader" group,
   normally, Serial Smartcard reader appear.

   Else, Press Refresh button to force system to research for
   Serial device presence on com port.

3- Use the Gemplus SmartDiag diagnostics tools to check your settings.
   Generate report and send to Gemplus Hotline region.
