Unless you want to implement missing features you can't fix it.

To remove driver - just remove the driver file "*.sys" from
windows/system32 directory. A cleaner way would be to disable it in registry or
remove it's complete section.

Also, remember to check the contents of windows/system32/drivers. I had the
Starforce copy protection (sfdrv01.sys) in there, which caused a crash for me.
