    Any thoughts on what driver cleaner I should use with Vista 64-bit? I've seen Driver cleaner pro generally recommended, but as far as I can tell it doesn't support Vista. Guru3d has Guru3D - Driver Sweeper (Setup) which does support Vista 64-bit.

    Any thoughts or recommendations. :radar: My failure to clean may well explain some annoying problems I've had since I changed my drivers.

    I'd recommend driver sweeper. Have been using it on vista with no problems. and it saves having to delete old driver files from the system32 folder manually :D

    Right, but I don't recall seeing a Vista-64 version. Maybe I missed it.
