safely delete vjoy.sys?

[0lm]

hi there
just wanted to ask if it is safe to delete Windows\System32\drivers\vjoy.sys after uninstalling vjoy in programs?

Not sure I understand. You have to uninstall vJoy using the supplied uninstaller. If you deleted it please reinstall vJoy and uninstall it.

I installed vJoy once. Then used the Uninstaller in "Programs List" to uninstall. But searching deeper, I found that there is still a trace in System 32, its the vjoy.sys. That one won't be uninstalled by the Uninstaller.
So my question is, after I uninstalled vJoy, is it safe to delete vjoy.sys manually, which was left out form the uninstall process?

There is a lot more than just vjoy,sys remaining on your system and in your registry after the so called "uninstall". Of course shauleiz acts like he does not understand what you are saying, and for good reason. Dig deeper and try to remove anything vjoy related.
