Since the only way to get "DriverCleaner" now is to pay for it, and DriverCleaner Pro will no longer be updated... it would be a 'good idea' to provide a 10 to 15 day trial version of your product..

The reason for this is, if someone can't test your software, decides to go ahead and purchase it, installs it and runs the program, just to find out it causes major problems or has conflicts with their chipset, operating systems, other software, or a combination of any of those.. then what?

I've used the "Pro" version of DriverCleaner since it's release a few years back, for the most part it did just fine.. but I did have some major issues with DriverCleaner Pro and my nVidia nForce4 SLi chipset motherboard on two different operating systems, which were Windows XP Pro (SP2) 32 Bit and Windows XP Pro x64 Bit Edition. The problems that occured from cleaning my nForce4 chipset drivers were so bad I had to do a complete clean install of Windows again... trying 'boot using last good know configuration' would not work, using the 'XP repair options' would not work (either repair option), etc.. I would just get BSOD after BSOD. It was just the nForce4 SLi chipset motherboard this happened on, and only when cleaning nForce chipset drivers.. on my other systems it did great.

But that's my point... Someone may have issues like this again, it just might not be stable for their system or have conflicts with other software they use, etc.. problem is, they won't know this until AFTER they pay for it.

That's why I think some sort of trial version should be made available for testing.. I myself would like the newest version, but with past experiences am scared it may conflict with some of my new hardware/software, also my old hardware too.. cause I still have the nForce4 SLi chipset motherboard.

I have (4) PC systems, (3) in use right now, the 4th being built. They have the following:
(1) nForce4 SLi chipset / 2x 7950 GX2 (quad sli) / X-Fi series audio
(2) nForce590 SLi chipset / 2x 8800 GTS (sli) / X-Fi series audio
(3) nVidia 6150 & nForce430 chipset / 8800 GTS (320mb) / X-Fi series audio
(4) nForce570 SLi chipset / no graphics card yet / no audio yet (being built)

The first system uses Windows XP Pro x64 Bit Edition, the other two use Windows Vista x64 Bit Editions (Home Premium & Ultimate).

I'm sure others would agree with me about this, of course the decision to do this, is the authors decision.. but it could save alot of time and trouble of people complaining because of issues of incompatibilities and such...

That is why we have the 30 day money back. I am sure you do, but you should always follow the steps in the help file.

The cleaning filters changed a lot since the 1.5 free version, because the filters are 1+ year old.

I think the problems are fixed, but can't say it with 100%, because i need to know the exact error you got.
