Question about removing Nvidia entries.

Mike89 · Apr 25, 2007, 06:02 AM

I notice when looking at the list for Nvidia entries, I see four.

Nvidia Chipset
Nvidia Stereo
Nvidia
Nvidia WDM

I don't have a Nvidia chipset motherboard so knew not to choose the first one.

How about the last three? I assume "Nvidia" is for the display drivers. Not sure about "Nvidia WDM" or "Nvidia Stereo". Last time I used Driver Cleaner PE, I just choose "Nvidia". Was I supposed to have chosen the other two also?

What does "Nvidia Stereo" and "Nvidia WDM" consist of?

nVidia is the right filter to choose for cleaning nvidia display drivers.

nVidia stereo is for the nvidia stereo drivers that are used for those 3d glasses you saw long ago.

nVidia WDM is for the WDM driver that is used on card that have VIVO

Thanks for the info.

Not sure if my 8800GTX has VIVO or not (not even sure what that is).

If it doesn't I guess there is no harm in adding "Nvidia WDM" and "Nvidia Stereo" to the list anyway (just to get rid of them)?

adding the nvidia wdm can only harm if you have a tv card in your system if you don't have that then adding it will not hurt.

I do have a TV Tuner Card. It's a Hauppage PVR 150. I don't believe it uses any Nvidia drivers.
