Unfortunately, graphic drivers are sometimes difficult to update, due to various compatibility issues with the computer system. So, the logical step to take is uninstall the old ones, and make room for new drivers.

But you can find problems there as well. Bits and pieces of drivers can be left floating around your operating system, even after a "successful" uninstallation.

This is why you need a software that is powerful enough to remove traces completely.

Driver Cleaner.NET is an application that can do that.

The only downside to it is that it only works for ATI and nVIDIA drivers, so the rest of us will have to manage with what little we have.

The user interface of the software is minimalistic, so you won't lose yourself in it.

You just have to select the cleaning section. In Settings you can enable logging, log cleanings, log errors, as well as clean files, directories and registry entries.

File backup is possible, in case something goes wrong and you have to restore system, as well as exclusion of certain locations.

Update is done only after you confirm the automatic task.

We tried removing traces of an nVIDIA graphic driver, and Driver Cleaner.NET wiped out everything. So, yeah... the application works.

CPU memory is used to a minimum, and we haven't come across any errors or glitches.

In conclusion, if you want a powerful software that will cleanup the remnants of an old graphic driver, then use Driver Cleaner.NET.
