How come Cab Cleaner is not in the instructions?

Mike89 · Sep 5, 2007, 04:13 AM

I notice in the step by step instructions, there is no mention of running Cab Cleaner. So if wanting to run Cab Cleaner, is it supposed to be ran before Driver Cleaner or after? If it is to be run after, I assume to not reboot after Driver Cleaner when asked to do so? I'm running XP Pro.

Sorry that it is not in the instructions. I have forgotten that. Will add that in the next help file update.

You only need to run Cab Cleaner 1 time on every cab file so the next time you clean a driver you don't need to run it again. You can run Cab Cleaner in normal windows before you uninstall the driver that way you only have to run Driver Cleaner in safe mode.

What's that mean, "only once for every cab file"? The cab files don't get updated each time new drivers are installed?

If you say Cab Cleaner can be run in normal Windows before un-installing drivers. So there is no reboot required after cab cleaning?

There is no reboot required after cleaning a cab file and the cab files don't get updated when a new driver is installed.
