Driver Cleaner 1.1 ?

Silverfox · Mar 28, 2003, 11:14 PM

Could someone tell me how to get this program started? I downloaded, ran the DC setup and then clicked on the filing cabinet, clicked on the Nvidia folder with the hourglass on it and the window asking where I want to extract items from appears! What do I click next? Im trying to remove all traces of Nvidia from my system prior to a new 9700 pro card and the omega drivers. Exactly how do you get started, the readme file is a little vague. The file I downloaded was titled DC_11Setup Thanks for any help!

firstly extract the zip file. install the setup.exe

go to start menu/programs/driver cleaner/drivercleaner.

run application then select ATI or NVIDIA (NVIDIA in your case) and press clean.

Say! Thank you Zardon very much, and forgive me for my ignorance! Hopefully the program will now remove all traces of my nvidia components, so I`ll have a clean install of the 9700 pro card and it`s drivers!

Thanx Zardon for helping him. Silverfox is that zip file really that name, because if so where did you get it. Here the name is DCSetup_11

Hey, Spike Im sorry, I misspelled your file. It is DCSetup_11, and I downloaded it from this website. Thanks again for all the help!

Ok np for the misspelling. I am glad it works now.

Spike I ran your DC program and it works great. The only question I have is after the prompt appears and says cleaning finished, in the window with all the files in red and the heading in front of each says File not found: Is this the normal display depicting everything that the program actually removed?

**Spike** · Mar 30, 2003, 05:56 PM

That is np the program does a lot more than you see. In the help file you can read about that message. I explained there somethings about that.

Spike, thanks for the help, and your program did indeed remove all traces of the nvidia components that appear would possibly cause a conflict with a new card. Another guy here in the forums suggested that I may also need to do a fresh install format of windows xp before I install and D\L the ATI omega drivers, but with your program doing such a fine cleansing of prior nv components, it appears I really would not need to do a fresh re-format! What do you think?

**Spike** · Mar 30, 2003, 10:47 PM

Nope you don't need to format. I heard from people that with using my program they did not had any conflicts with the ati drivers and that everything runs like with a clean install.

Thanks for the answer Spike, and again I personally do not know of another program that does as good a job as yours, with just one simple click! All the others that I`ve seen requires manual selection and deleting by the user, which so often causes problems due to folks either deleting a file they should not have, or simply overlooking one, and thus wind up with a host of conflicts!
