JASpurrier3 Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 My suggestion is to back up all of the drivers yourself. The last time I used a program to do it, most of the drivers were corrupt because the program didn't copy every file (like the exes).I would:1. Update all drivers.2. Save the lastest drivers you just installed.3. Nlite the crap out of the drivers on your Windows XP CD.Once you have all of the drivers saved, in theory, you should be able to remove all of the drivers NOT IN RED with Nlite.I believe this is the best way for your driver removal.-Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
