^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is not a valid entry. it needs an
equals sign, like this:
device=c:\newton\tsivid.386
In any case, I think you're having problems unrelated to NCU, since that
entry isn't anywhere in my system.ini under Win98, and I use NCU all the
time. There isn't even a tsivid.386 file in my NCU directory, or even
anywhere on my Windows drive :)

NO! It has an uninstaller. (Unless you are talking about NBU, which I
don't believe does)
