Not possible. I sent the TV card and CD back to Amazon as it wouldn't run on 7/64-bit.
I'll have a look to see if they're being loaded. Shouldn't be. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gigabyte

I would just live with them as they likely can't harm anything, or if they are creating an issue then back up all data and do a clean install of windows and all other software. This will cure the situation but likely kills the better part of a day or possibly two. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !
