**Spike** · Jan 5, 2006, 02:43 PM

Here is a new release of Driver Cleaner Professional edition.

Here is a list of what has changed or added since v1.2 (Date: September 20, 2005):
Added:

- 3Dlabs Wildcat REALIZM cleaning file
- 3Dlabs Wildcat VP cleaning file

Improved:

Fixed:

IMPORTANT: uninstall any older version first before installing Driver Cleaner Professional.

It is for nVidia, ATI, Creative, Turtle Beach, SIS Graphics, 3Dfx and others. It will remove anything that is left by the drivers after uninstall.

If you use this program either for personal or business use and wish to support this program, please consider a donation via paypal ( information on www.drivercleaner.net ). Every little bit helps my development time over the last 2 years in bringing this tool to the public domain. See the Driver Cleaner website for a link or check the readme or help file for more details.

You can download the new version here.

Please note due to many sites ignoring our EULA, being dishonourable and deep linking files from the Driverheaven server we have anti leeching scripts now in place. if you want to spread the news regarding this release, then link to our HTML page.

just downloaded, but i'm missing the updater?!

Erroneus · Jan 5, 2006, 03:49 PM

Awesome tool

You need to change the date at the download on http://www.drivercleaner.net/ btw.

Widkidone · Jan 5, 2006, 03:55 PM

Is there a Live Update with this version.....i just installed it and its not there... this normal?

**Spike** · Jan 5, 2006, 05:25 PM

The LiveUpdate is removed in this version. I am rewriting it and don't know if i will put it back. It all depends on how good it is and what my plans are.

Sandok · Jan 5, 2006, 05:31 PM

thx mate! this must be the best tool available on the internet and really, kudos! I so hope you keep it up cuz it's really worth it

hehe i guess that means no short updates, just full blown updates lol

btw its 1.3 in your sig not 1.2

mike2h · Jan 5, 2006, 11:52 PM

thx again! never would have made it through testing drivers if not for your wonderful prog!!

swimtech · Jan 6, 2006, 01:33 AM

Excellent Spike - Thank you!

krang · Jan 6, 2006, 01:53 AM

Another winning update, Spike. Glad to see your still at m8.

mkk · Jan 6, 2006, 02:34 PM

For no special reason I was just thinking about how the updating was going, and wham there it was. Jolly good show.

FnF · Jan 6, 2006, 06:50 PM

Another great version, much appreciated, the only little thing I might miss is the update function

klegg · Jan 6, 2006, 07:37 PM

Excellent tool, very smart in it's form and purpose, but the 3Dfx cleaning routines are rather weak - i.e. after uninstalling V2 drivers when i tried to do wash&go with the DC, some files were still in place thereafter, same goes to registry entries. I can submit some file lists from a few infs, though (Koolsmoky V2 driver, Legendgraphix VoodooMage, FastVoodoo, Raziel64 and AmigaMerlin drivers sets).

BWX · Jan 6, 2006, 07:59 PM

Thanks for the update..

I have to say I loved the live update though.. I will miss it. I hope you can bring it back.

Rayder · Jan 6, 2006, 08:28 PM

Definitely a staple program to have for updating drivers or hardware.

Rock on!

**Spike** · Jan 6, 2006, 10:08 PM

klegg if you can send me any info you have that would be great. Mail it to info@drivercleaner.net. So inf files and other details you have will help me improve that filter.

redsolar · Jan 7, 2006, 06:36 AM

Most excellent - it's sad to see Live Update go, but I guess we'll have to live with that

Wrong thread dude.

Gaijin · Jan 7, 2006, 05:03 PM

Thanks for the update, this excellent piece of software has definately made driver updating less of a fuss.

Decon · Jan 8, 2006, 05:52 PM

Yes...Thanks Spike for this awesome tool. I too will miss the updater. Your chioce in the matter is good enough for me

MIKEYMC · Jan 8, 2006, 09:46 PM

Having a slight problem. I just switched from a 9600xt to a 6600gt so I uninstalled the ati drivers the used driver cleaner. Then installed the new gfx card and installed the nvidia drivers. Now it keeps freezing for several seconds or in small places on the screen it goes all garbled. At the moment Im about to do a full format and reinstall XP if I can't find a fix. Any ideas what i can do?

**Spike** · Jan 9, 2006, 04:04 PM

MIKEYMC i am not sure could be a driver problem, but could also be a problem with your power supply. Best you can do is post your question in the nvidia part of the forum.

MIKEYMC · Jan 9, 2006, 04:56 PM

Hmm well I'll try a reinstall and see if it still does it. I have a 460w PSU that I had for my 6800 GT originally so shouldn't be any problems PSU wise. This is the other halfs PC. I changed her GFX without her knowing cos I shouldn't be spending

So I kinda had to say "yeah pc's always mess up like this all the time not much you can do"

qweqaz5 · Jan 10, 2006, 06:30 AM

Thanks Spike. I've been using this handy lil tool for years.......

mantra · Jan 10, 2006, 02:14 PM

great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this tool!
by the way i miss the internal update

and the old version 1.2 is not more available/supported?

**Spike** · Jan 10, 2006, 08:19 PM

mantra if someone use 1.2 and has a question about it then i still answer it, but there are no updates anymore for that. 1.3 is the newest now and has been updated a lot.

RejZoR · Jan 11, 2006, 09:32 AM

It's good as usual, just Updater is completely gone. Is that normal?

**Spike** · Jan 12, 2006, 08:42 AM

Yep it is normal. The update is removed.
