Doubtful, looks like something is just amiss in the current configuration of your system. Delete the PNF file - it's okay to delete PNF files, when the INF file is accessed a new PNF will be generated - it should be "c:\windows\inf\tnet1130.pnf". Also make sure you're an Admin when installing the device (I figure this is a duh?).

Hmmm, that might mean there's a service that is loaded that is refusing the uninstall. Look in the INF file for a .sys file listed as a service and either move, or rename it (don't delete it, there might be other devices that depend on it) and then reboot.

At this point I'm just guessing at the reason for the problem, something is obviously configured strange and is causing some weirdness above and beyond what I normally see. Unfortunately I have to say the driver is probably good, but the uninstaller didn't do its job and leave everything as the installer found it.
