>Is there such a thing as uninstall a driver?

Not unless the driver wants to be deinstalled.  Even then, it could
prove to be a pain.

>Can I install a driver with out rebooting?

Yes.  There is a program called DEVLOD that comes with
_Undocumented_DOS_ that does this.  Note that even its authors won't
claim 100% success rate.

>Where can I read about this?

_Undocumented_DOS_
Andrew Schulman, Raymond J. Michels, Jim Kyle, Tim Paterson, David
Maxey and Ralf Brown.  Addison-Wesley Publishing.  ISBN 0-201-57064-5.

Comes with two disks full of tools.  DEVLOD is talked about in chapter
3.

Have fun....
