Driver Clean up

Ziani · Nov 24, 2009, 09:12 PM

Hiya...just purchased Driver Cleaner and wanted some advice please. All I want to do is to remove Drivers that are no longer needed. I update drivers on a regular basis but have never uninstalled so was wondering what the best way to remove all the old rubbish? I dont want to remove drivers that are in use so is this possible? Thanks.

If you're running Vista or Windows 7 I'd say definitely leave it be until you encounter some problem. Mostly the same with Windows XP as well as long as it's not like many years old without any service packs. You could try the cleaning filter for the graphics driver files if you like, following the instructions in the program. Don't run filters that you are unsure of what they cover.
